first of all, I am a SHE. and no, I converted as an individual. not with a whole congregation. I worked one on one with the RCIA director.

My apologies on the he. With regard to your conversion from TEC to RCC, you’re saying you were not re-confirmed when you entered the RCC? That seems most peculiar to me since to not do so would imply that the RCC considers your confirmation with TEC valid, and by extension the authority of TEC bishops to be as well… :confused:

Makes me wonder if your Catholic priest might have made a mistake?

Tell us more! Yak butter in particular, always felt it was key…

I didn’t know you felt this way.
Torquemada has been following this thread too.

Nay, nay. It is anathema.

Picky has a good memory, but it is probable that he is citing one of my many repetitions of my first post, anywhere, many years ago, explaining the arcane structure of Anglicanism, generally, to a group of nice, but befuddled RCs.

The Yak butter concept came in specifying the role of the Sovereign in the structure of the CoE, and denying some likely misconceptions as to the liturgical implications thereof.

It was long ago in a land far away, and few recall today.

It’s Anglicanism. No particular anything.

Except be particularly careful not to slip on the butter. Especially when leaving, as you will depart backwards, gazing upon the sovereign, who is of course the spiritual leader of all Anglicans. She has this position by virtue of not being the descendant of Henry VIII, the very first Via Media (or Violent Methodist).

You remember more than I would have thought.

Clarified yak butter, of course.

The transition for you will likely be rather seamless, tbh.

Anglicans already accept Apostolic succession/authority.

Biggest hurdle for me was the blessed Mother and the mandatory beliefs the Church holds about her.

But as you said, you know for a fact the Mass will always be the Mass and never turned into a protestant rock concert. And they wont budge on matters of morality. Those two reasons alone were big factors for me.

The confirmations last week were by the priest, then? But nothing similar occurred when you were received?

I was reveived into the church in a ceremony performed by a priest. I chose a saint’s name. The oil was put on my forehead.

I find this one to be particularly ironic given how integral the Elizabethan Compromise was to forming Anglicanism’s unique position as the so called via media and it’s long time character as an overall denomination.

Based on what limited exposure I’ve had to the Continuing bodies and the more recent bodies I’d agree that your “purple passion” and personalities definitely play a part in it. That said, hopefully they can come together into something more cohesive if just for practicality sake since they don’t seem to have terribly much doctrinally that would separate them. Same would go for the ACNA and it’s contemporaries, though in that case it seems they’re having trouble maintaining what unity they do have unfortunately.

Yes, I think the lack of uniformity of doctrine causes much of the drama seen in Anglicanism. Not sure it has ever been different…

As well, agreed on the unity, or lessening amount among the ACNA. More so since the drama of the last Primates meeting and now GAFCON dropping out of the Anglican Consultative Council meeting due to TEC’s plans to attend and vote.

Never a lack of something to talk about with the Anglican Communion.
