Anglican priests possible mass conversion to Catholicism????

## Of course not - but if any of them are under the impression that the nasty old C of E is a morass of vice, and that the CC does not have the problems that (so far as appearances go) make some people eager to leave the C of E - they will be in for a very rude shock.

Because “it won’t be easy”, it’s hard to see any justification for skipping Churches. Why change to RC - or anything else for that matter - if the presence of scandals is a problem ? They are found where sin is found. Is Christianity a way out of scandals ? Of course not.

If there were some sort of argument that some sorts of evils denature the Church so that she ceases to be a Christian body at all, that might make some sense. As applied to the C of E, however, the very church some Anglicans apparently want to join has so far refused to regard the C of E as having ceased to be a Christian body. IOW, they are appealing to a position which the CC does not hold, and which her actions deny, in order to think of becoming, or to become, members of the CC. It’s hard to see this as anything but a variety of Donatism. ##

I did not leave the Episcopal Church because of scandals within her. I left because I was forced to accept the fact that without Peter in our house of bishops, and by attempting to justify that, we were claiming to be something we were not. History got the better of me.

I apologize if I gave the impression that I was disaffected with the Anglican Communion. I shall always love her, for the faith I learned, loved, and lived as an Anglican IS the Catholic faith. My departure had nothing to do with Donatism. It was, however, becoming impossible for me to be accepted as a catholic in my branch of the Church.
