Congregatio pro Doctrina Fidei 601

2. The faithful of the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of the Southern

Cross are entrusted to the pastoral care of the Personal Ordinary who, once

named by the Roman Pontiff,6 possesses all the faculties, and is held to all the

obligations, specified in the Apostolic Constitution Anglicanorum coetibus and

the Complementary Norms 7 as well as in those matters determined subse-

quently by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, on request both

of the Ordinary, having heard the Governing Council of the Ordinariate, and

of the Australian Catholic Bishops' Conference.

3. The Anglican faithful who wish to be received into full communion

with the Catholic Church through the Ordinariate must manifest this desire

in writing.8 There is to be a programme of catechetical formation for these

faithful, lasting for a congruent time, and with content established by the

Ordinary in agreement with the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith so

that the faithful are able to adhere fully to the doctrinal content of the

Catechism of the Catholic Church,9 and therefore, make the profession of faith.

4. For candidates for ordination who previously were ministers in the

Anglican Communion, there is to be a specific programme of theological

formation, as well as spiritual and pastoral preparation, prior to ordination

in the Catholic Church, according to what will be established by the

Ordinary in agreement with the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

and in consultation with the Australian Catholic Bishops' Conference.

5. For a cleric not incardinated in the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady

of the Southern Cross to assist at a marriage of the faithful belonging to the

Ordinariate, he must receive the faculty from the Ordinary or the pastor of

the personal parish to which the faithful belong.10

6. The Ordinary is a member by right of the Australian Catholic

Bishops' Conference, with deliberative vote in those cases in which this

is required in law.11
