So says Vatican Radio<\/a>, denying previous reports<\/a> that the problem was all about the celibacy issue: <\/p>\n

\n“There has been widespread speculation, based on supposedly knowledgeable remarks by an
\nItalian correspondent Andrea Tornielli, that the delay in publication of the Apostolic Constitution
\nregarding Personal Ordinariates for Anglicans entering into full communion with the Catholic
\nChurch, announced on October 20, 2009, by Cardinal William Levada, Prefect of the
\nCongregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, is due to more than “technical” reasons. According
\nto this speculation, there is a serious substantial issue at the basis of the delay, namely,
\ndisagreement about whether celibacy will be the norm for the future clergy of the Provision.<\/p>\n

Cardinal Levada offered the following comments on this speculation: “Had I been asked I
\nwould happily have clarified any doubt about my remarks at the press conference. There is no
\nsubstance to such speculation. No one at the Vatican has mentioned any such issue to me. The
\ndelay is purely technical in the sense of ensuring consistency in canonical language and
\nreferences. The translation issues are secondary; the decision not to delay publication in order
\nto wait for the ‘official’ Latin text to be published in Acta Apostolicae Sedis was made some time
\nago.<\/p>\n

The drafts prepared by the working group, and submitted for study and approval through the
\nusual process followed by the Congregation, have all included the following statement, currently
\nArticle VI of the Constitution:<\/p>\n

\u00a71 Those who ministered as Anglican deacons, priests, or bishops, and who fulfill the requisites
\nestablished by canon law and are not impeded by irregularities or other impediments may be
\naccepted by the Ordinary as candidates for Holy Orders in the Catholic Church. In the case of
\nmarried ministers, the norms established in the Encyclical Letter of Pope Paul VI Sacerdotalis
\ncoelibatus, n. 42 and in the Statement “In June” are to be observed. Unmarried ministers must
\nsubmit to the norm of clerical celibacy of CIC can. 277, \u00a71.
\n\u00a72. The Ordinary, in full observance of the discipline of celibate clergy in the Latin Church, as
\na rule (pro regula) will admit only celibate men to the order of presbyter. He may also petition
\nthe Roman Pontiff, as a derogation from can. 277, \u00a71, for the admission of married men to the
\norder of presbyter on a case by case basis, according to objective criteria approved by the Holy
\nSee.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

This article is to be understood as consistent with the current practice of the Church, in
\nwhich married former Anglican ministers may be admitted to priestly ministry in the Catholic
\nChurch on a case by case basis.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
