Summary/Abstract: The Apostolic Constitution of Pope Benedict XVI Anglicanorum Coetibus was promulgated in November 2009 as answer for repeated and insistent petitions of “groups of Anglicans” who desired to stay into the full communion with the Catholic Church. It united two visions of ecumenism movement which contented in the encyclic Mortalium Animos and the constitution Lumen gentium by forecasting for groups of converts possibility of preserving elements of their Anglican tradition under condition of subordinate their spiritual construction to norms obligatory in the Catholic Church. Instead of “power” evangelization based on adjusting all elements of the Christian puzzle to the Catholic pattern, there is realizing “free” evangelization based on down initiatives, respect for other Christians communities’ tradition and discreet signalizing of the Holy See primacy
