TRADITIONAL ANGLICAN COMMUNION
ANGLICAN CATHOLIC CHAPLAINCY OF SAINT MARY THE VIRGIN NORMANDY - FRANCE
Adhering to the doctrinal and moral teaching contained in the Catechism of the Catholic Church and for many years based on the Affirmation of Saint Louis, a document dating from 1977, we offer traditional liturgical worship and pastoral services for Anglicans and other Christians from different ecclesial origins living in France or on holiday over here. You are invited to go through the links below and discover this little world and oasis of English Catholicism inspired by pre-Reformation norms of liturgy and spirituality together with the positive and truly Catholic aspects of post-Reformation Anglican culture and learning. The TAC is a worldwide union of Christian communities identifying with the Anglican Catholic tradition. It has been since the 1970's estranged from most of the "official" Anglican Communion due to changes that adversely affect the sacramental, doctrinal and moral integrity of the Church. The TAC, alongside other Anglicans having made similar pilgrimages, is in the process of being brought into full communion with Rome under special canonical dispositions decided by Pope Benedict XVI in October 2009. On the 9th November 2009, the following documents were released by the Roman Curia: After having consulted the synods of all the local Churches of the TAC, our Archbishop and Bishops will certainly respond to these historical decisions by the highest authority of the Roman Catholic Church. It is anticipated that the first Personal Ordinariates for convert Anglican communities may be canonically erected by the Pope in the Spring of 2010.
