Rite
Anglican Use (Divine Worship)
Latin liturgical use
A use of the Roman Rite for the personal ordinariates established by Anglicanorum coetibus, celebrated according to Divine Worship: The Missal.
History
Provision was first made in 1980 for groups of former Anglicans received into the Catholic Church in the United States to keep elements of their liturgical patrimony. On 4 November 2009 Pope Benedict XVI issued the apostolic constitution Anglicanorum coetibus, which erected personal ordinariates for such groups: Our Lady of Walsingham in Great Britain (2011), the Chair of Saint Peter in the United States and Canada (2012), and Our Lady of the Southern Cross in Australia (2012). The liturgical books Divine Worship: The Missal, approved by the Holy See, came into use on the First Sunday of Advent 2015.
Background
Divine Worship is a use of the Roman Rite, not a separate rite: the same Mass, celebrated with texts and ceremonies that preserve what is Catholic in the Anglican tradition — sacral English in the register of Cranmer's prose, the Prayer of Humble Access, the choral tradition of evensong — within full communion and full Catholic doctrine.
Summary
A use of the Roman Rite for the personal ordinariates established by Anglicanorum coetibus, celebrated according to Divine Worship: The Missal.
