Looks like another wedge is being driven into the Anglican Church. I expect an official schism(s) will happen within a year. I am just wondering how many will come back to the Catholic Church.

This illustrates the wisdom of Pope Benedict’s stance that restoring our relationship with the Orthodox Churches should be top priority. There is no chance that we will ever be able to see eye-to-eye with “churches” such as the Anglicans, and talking with them is basically a waste of time.
 
I love the question "What is the Church of England thinking? Obviously they are not. Do they have some kind of lemming complex? They are heading straight for a cliff and apparently intend to jump off of it. All this divisiveness, all of this rancor to allow a tiny minority to engage in a particularly kind of sexual activity. What are they thinking indeed.

So so sad…all these churches think religion is a popularity contest and that the only way to win is if everyone likes you…:nope:
 
Church to let gay clergy ‘marry’ but they must stay celibate

And it is apparent they also have lost what the whole concept of marriage is about. Was there ever such a thing as celibate marriage?:confused:

With that I have to agree the Anglican communion has become a joke unto itself and to much of the rest of Christendom. I say let Rome hold all the serious theological discussions with the Orthodox and other Protestants who seriously maintain Biblical moral principles.
 
I think it’s only a matter of time before the Anglican church implodes on itself and many of its clergy and adherents leave it in disgust for its slide towards apostasy. Sad that the Anglican church should fall this way, but then they brought it on themselves.

I’ve read that some Americam Episcopal parishes are, in effect, seceding from their diocese and declaring themselvesto be under the authority of another bishop in the Anglican Communion – often in Africa, where none of the UK- and US-style “liberalisation” has caught on.

I’m reminded of a comment William F. Buckley made years ago, “As the Catholic Church becomes protestantised, so, indeed, will the Protestant churches.”
 
Soon well here again, “why doesnt the catholic church just get with the times?” Like sure, when I die and if get to come face to face with the Lord ill be sure to say, “hey Jesus why don’t you just get more hip?”
 
Wow I read the title and thought some dissident somewhere did this in the Catholic Church. It’s times like this I am VERY glad to be Catholic :bowdown:
 
It’s sad that it’s happening, but think about it, they started out with a schism from Rome based on a lack of understanding the sacrament of Matrimony. It’s not surprising that confusion led to more confusion.

Let’s pray that the faithful will stop and consider what this really means and explore Catholicism as they’ve never done before, with a open heart and mind.

Please dear God, bring our seperated bretheren home to the Church you founded.
