The Personal Ordinariate of Reconciliation is a personal ordinariate in the Latin Church of the Catholic Church for priests and laypeople from a Caphiric Catholic background outside of Caphiria, that enables them to retain elements of their Caphiric patrimony without submitting to the direct authority of the Caphirian state or the Patriarch of Venceia and All Sarpedon. Participation within the ordinariate allows its members to remain part of the Latin Church. Its original primary function was to provide a way to reconcile Caphiric Catholics to the Church prior to the Eight Points Agreement while retaining their Caphiric traditions. Its territory is worldwide. The personal ordinariate is immediately exempt to the Holy See. The liturgy of the ordinariate was originally the Caphiric Use prior to the Eight Points Agreement, but subsequently adopted the Caphiric Rite which was formalized in the years after the agreement.
