Personal ordinariate
If membership by reception of the sacraments of initiation within an ordinariate is open not only to the Catholics mentioned in the 2013 amendment but to others also who have no Anglican background - something on which no express statement has been issued - anyone who has not yet received all three sacraments of initiation may join. This includes non-Christians, those who, in the view of the Catholic Church, do not have valid baptism (such as Mormons), and those who, again in the view of the Catholic Church, have valid baptism but not valid confirmation or Eucharist. Protestants in general are seen as lacking valid confirmation, but the Eastern churches and some Western ones, such as some Old Catholic churches and the Polish National Catholic Church, are recognized as having valid sacraments.
William Kurelek
At Maudsley, Margaret Smith, Kurelek's occupational therapist would change the course of Kurelek's spiritual life. One day, she brought him a book of poems, wrapped in a dust jacket that she had made herself out of a Catholic newspaper. "I was a staunch atheist at the time…," Kurelek recalled, and upon discovering her Catholic faith, teased her about it. Later, he asked her if she was praying for him, and she answered, "Yes, I am." From here, they began to attend church services together. He took a correspondence course from the church, and met with Father Edward Holloway, a theologian trained at the English College in Rome, who helped him over some final stumbling blocks. In February 1957, Kurelek entered the Roman Catholic Church by a ceremony of conditional baptism, a procedure called for because of his infant baptism in the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Canada. Margaret Smith, and his friend David John, a sculptor who did work for the church, were his godparents.
