<p>The Archbishop of Westminster is to ordain three former Church of England bishops as Roman Catholic priests as a new Vatican scheme for disaffected Anglicans gets under way.</p>
<p>The Most Rev Vincent Nichols, who is leader of Catholics in England and Wales, will ordain Andrew Burnham, former bishop of Ebbsfleet, Keith Newton, ex-bishop of Richborough, and John Broadhurst, former bishop of Fulham, as Catholic priests.</p>
<p>The ceremony in Westminster Cathedral in London comes a fortnight after the three former Anglican clerics were received into the Catholic Church. They were ordained as Catholic deacons on Thursday at Allen Hall seminary in London.</p>
<p>The former bishops will be the first priests of the personal ordinariate of England and Wales, a scheme set up for groups of Anglicans who wish to join the Roman Catholic Church while retaining aspects of their Anglican heritage.</p>
<p>The ordinariate is expected to be joined by up to 50 Anglican clergy and two retired Church of England bishops.</p>
<p>Its formation comes after the Church of England voted last summer to press ahead with legislation to consecrate women bishops, a move opposed by Anglo-Catholic groupings within the Church.</p>
<p>The Most Rev Nichols has welcomed the former bishops into the Roman Catholic Church.</p>
<p>He has also paid tribute to the &#8220;sensitive&#8221; leadership of the Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams.</p>
