It deals with the ever relevant and debated topic of Ordinariates which are “geographically based structures set up for Eastern Catholic Communities who do not have their own hierarchy in a given territory.” She deals only with those ordinariates which are set up for orientals and led by a prelate of another Church sui iuris. After identifying the earlier Vicariates and locating them in their historical contexts, she masterfully presents the origin and evolution of this canonical institute.
