Along with the ordination of married former Episcopal priests, the Pastoral Provision of 1980 permitted the establishment of Anglican Use parishes in the United States and created a special missal using liturgical elements from the Anglican tradition. This special liturgy was subsequently approved in 1983 by the Vatican'sCongregation for Divine Worship and the Committee for the Liturgy of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops. In 2003 it was published in book form as the Book of Divine Worship and the term "Anglican Use" liturgy was applied to it. When use of the revised English translation of the Novus Ordo Mass went into effect on 27 November 2011, use of the "Rite II" modern language version of the Holy Eucharist in the Book of Divine Worship was suppressed, and parishes had the option of using the "Rite I" traditional language Anglican Use liturgy or conforming to the Novus Ordo liturgy used in parishes not part of the Pastoral Provision.
Design
The Book of Divine Worship contained elements of the 1928 and 1979 American editions of the Book of Common Prayer as well as the 1970 Roman Missal, Missale Romanum.
The Book of Divine Worship was seen as US-centric and was not used in parishes of the Personal Ordinariates outside the US, but was instrumental in the joint development of a new liturgy by the Interdicasterial Commission Anglicanae Traditiones of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments to be the traditional language liturgy for all Ordinariate parishes worldwide as called for by the apostolic constitutionAnglicanorum Coetibus of 4 November 2009. Beginning in 2013, as Pastoral Provision aka Anglican Use parishes in the United States migrated from their geographic dioceses into the Ordinariate and as new parishes were established within the Ordinariate, any parishes using the Book of Divine Worship transitioned to the new ordinariate liturgy. As of November 2015 all but two Anglican Use parishes had migrated from their local diocese into the Ordinariate and use of the Book of Divine Worship for the Holy Eucharist had almost entirely ceased. As of 1 January 2016, the Vatican withdrew permission for use of the book in public worship. On Advent Sunday 2015 the new missal for the Ordinariates, went into effect. Ordinariate parishes now use this new missal as their traditional language liturgy and the Post-Vatican II Mass when they prefer to use modern language. As for the liturgies other than the Eucharist contained in the Book of Divine Worship, the Ordinariates had previously issued their own editions of the pastoral offices of Holy Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Matrimony, and Burial of the Dead and are also preparing a new edition of the Divine Offices of Morning Prayer, Evensong, and the minor offices.
