TAC Archive

As promised, I have recovered all the material from the now-defunct English Catholic blog. I have made it available to researchers in an archive of material related to the Traditional Anglican Communion and Anglicanorum coetibus between the summer of 2010 and Easter 2012. It is published on Civitas Dei. It was originally published on the English Catholic blog. Some of the articles were written by Deborah Gyapong (Foolishness to the World) who is a Canadian journalist and was received into the Roman Catholic Church on 15th April 2012 with a group of clergy and laity from the TAC in Canada.

I joined the Patrimony of the Primate of the TAC under Archbishop Hepworth’s direct jurisdiction in August 2005 and was accepted as a validly ordained priest. I recently received a letter (without any application on my part) from Archbishop Prakash informing me that I was under the jurisdiction of Bishop Craig Botterill in his capacity as Episcopal Visitor to The Traditional Anglican Church in England.

I brought the English Catholic blog to an end on account of the reasons explained on English Catholic blog is gone forever.

The Current Situation of Archbishop John Hepworth. Page not updated since October 2011.

Here are the pages that appeared on the top of the blog’s homepage:

TAC Documents

Archbishop Hepworth’s Charge – undated but it would seem to be from the 2010 Australian Synod.

Comments are welcome by e-mail for the purpose of factual or historical corrections. The articles I wrote on the English Catholic and reproduced in this archive do not necessarily reflect my current position. Direct comments to this blog have been turned off. My e-mail address is anthony DOT chadwick AT wanadoo DOT fr.

It is likely that the TAC will now continue in a changed form in Africa, India, the United States of America and other countries, seeking links of communion with the other Continuing Anglican Churches. This archive does not concern the TAC as reformulated at the College of Bishops meeting in South Africa and since Archbishop Hepworth’s resignation came into effect on Easter Sunday, 8th April 2012.

The TAC and the Ordinariates are not the subject of this blog, but Fr Stephen Smuts is worth looking into for continuing news on the TAC.
