This is what the pope is doing in England, Canada, and America:
A personal ordinariate is a canonical structure within the Catholic Church enabling former Anglicans to maintain some degree of corporate identity and autonomy with regard to the bishops of the geographical dioceses of the Catholic Church and to preserve elements of their distinctive Anglican spiritual and liturgical patrimony. Its precise nature is described in the apostolic constitution Anglicanorum Coetibus of 4 November 2009[1] and in the complementary norms of the same date.[2]
The new structure is intended to integrate these groups into the life of the Roman Catholic Church in such a way as "to maintain the liturgical, spiritual and pastoral traditions of the Anglican Communion within the Catholic Church, as a precious gift nourishing the faith of the members of the Ordinariate and as a treasure to be shared".[3]
As an ordinariate of this kind is part of the Catholic Church, it professes that Church's principles and doctrines in their entirety and maintains fidelity to the leadership of the Pope.
Anglicans who join the Catholic Church can still choose to be part of the usual dioceses rather than of an ordinariate.

Rev. Paul McCain provided this insite into the Lutheran Synods desire for the Antichrist's leadership.
"Father Neuhaus was able to make direct personal appeal to Pope John Paul which led to direct contacts with Cardinal Ratzinger, with the result that the The LCMS was again given a place at the table of discussion and dialog with Rome"

Paul McCain goes on to state, "In both cases, he challenged me to think, to reflect, to grow and to strive for excellence in our common confession of Christ."
With his violent promotion of the false gospel of Universal Objective Justification there is no doubt that the Church of the Antichrist shares a common confession of Christ with McCain and with the other UOJists in the LCMS, WELS, ELCA and ELS.
Pope worshiping Father Richard Neuhaus stated it this way, "I will not plead that I had faith, for sometimes I was unsure of my faith, and in any event that would be to turn faith into a meritorious work of my own."
Lacking Christian faith, in fact persecuting Christian faith and Christ's Church through their confession of UOJ, the false teachers in the Lutheran Synods will have no problem begging for a seat at the Pope's table while he ascends to his earthly throne as the center of the New World Order religion. Even now they coddle the pedophiles, murderers and New Age practitioners while dogpiling faithful Christians like hobos on a hotdog.
