Using Eastern Catholicism as a vehicle to convert protestants?

[Aramis]

I am sorry but you are wrong on this.

There are canons regarding this but I do not have the time to search them out, maybe someone out there can recall them, at least the Canon numbers and I can look them up for you.

Given that the canon speaks of preservation of rite, and is in both codes… it’s a universal law of the church.

However, the telling point is in Anglicanorum Coetibus…

“IX. Both the lay faithful as well as members of Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, originally part of the Anglican Communion, who wish to enter the Personal Ordinariate, must manifest this desire in writing.”

It is not automatic; therefore, it is not a rite preserved by the CIC canon. If not Anglicans, then what other protestants, for whom there is no distinctive rite/use?

I would be very interested in seeing any applicable canons. I was under the impression that when a protestant wants to become Catholic, they have the option of choosing which Sui Juris Church to be enrolled in. But, I know I could be completely wrong. Wouldn’t be the first time
