Cardinal Donald W. Wuerl of Washington - responsible for the implementation of Anglicanorum Coetibus in the United States - has reported to the US Catholic bishops on progress towards an Ordinariate in the US. According to one report, Cardinal Wuerl has stated that "as many as 100 U.S. Anglican priests and 2,000 laypeople could be the first members of a U.S. personal ordinariate". This includes, of course, the Episcopal parishes of St. Luke's in Bladensburg and Mount Calvary in Baltimore.
In his report (which can be read here), Cardinal Wuerl noted that "the Holy See has indicated its wish to establish an Ordinariate in the United States this Fall".
