Editing Anglican Use (section)

===Origins===
In 1977, some of those Anglicans and Episcopalians who desired union with the Catholic Church contacted individual Catholic bishops, the [[Apostolic Delegate]] (Archbishop [[Jean Jadot]]) and the [[Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith]] in Rome, to inquire about the possibility for married Anglican priests to be received into the Catholic Church and function as Catholic priests.

After the United States [[United States Conference of Catholic Bishops|National Conference of Catholic Bishops]] and the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith had reacted favorably to the proposals that had been put before them, a formal request for union was presented in Rome on 3 November 1979 for acceptance into the Catholic Church, for steps to be taken to eliminate any defects that might be found in their priestly orders, and that they be granted the oversight, direction, and governance of a Catholic bishop.<ref>{{citation|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5JBSw4m9azYC&q=Cavanaugh+Anglicans+and+the+Roman+Catholic+Church|first=Steve|last=Cavanaugh|title=Anglicans and Roman Catholics|publisher=Ignatius Press|year=2011|isbn=9781586174996|chapter=Appendix A}}</ref>
