An American Lutheran group, the Anglo-Lutheran Catholic Church—has
expressed a desire to enter an ordinariate established in the US for
former Anglicans entering the Catholic Church.
Leaders of the Lutheran group told Vatican officials of their wish “to
undo the mistakes of Father Martin Luther and return to the one, holy,
and true Catholic Church.”
They were referred by the Congregation for
the Doctrine of the Faith to Cardinal Donald Wuerl, who is charged with
overseeing the establishment of an American ordinariate.
