I have a question for Anglicans...

[SenorSalsa]

Does the Catholic Church seem as confusing from the outside as the Anglican does to me?

I hear about Anglo-Catholics and Continuing Anglicans and the Church of England and on an on and on. It confuses me, some of them allow women clergy, some dont, women bishops, gay clergy and bishops. It makes my head explode every time i enter a topic on Anglicanism

I think most Anglicans would just say that the RCC is better at keeping the in-fighting out of the public arena. You still have Old Catholic, SSPX, Polish Catholic, etc. that aren’t “in communion” with Rome.

Anglo-Catholic and Continuing Anglican are very conservative and refuse to be part of the Anglican Communion because of the extreme secularization they see entering the majority of the AC.

Perhaps we should pray that the current Anglican division will lead to more people finding their way to the fullness of Truth.

Though there are certainly Anglo-Catholics (in form, at least) in the official Anglican Communion, this is basically accurate.

Anglicans are confusing, and require a scorecard to track them.
