I’ve been trying to think of a diplomatic, intelligent way to characterize my view of Hans Kung. I just keep being stuck with, “Hans Kung blows” lol
The groups of Anglicans considering and accepting the Holy Father’s offer do not go through the motions of ordaining women. Of the many things they dislike about the way Anglicanism has gone, women ordination is among the top issues.
Back in the 1970’s many of the people accepting the offer left the communion with TEC in the States over the illegal, unscriptural, non-tradition and against reason move to tell women they can be ordained.
So, there will not be any women in these groups who are or think they are ordained seeking ordination in the Catholic Church. There maybe religious and some groups call them deaconess as my jurisdiction calls them. We do not ordain them, but “set aside for the work of God and Church”. They take vows. They would be similar to Catholic Nuns. We even have Anglican Monks, similar to Catholic Monks. I have a friend who is going to an Anglican Monastary this summer.
“Ordained women” leaving the TEC are going into the ACNA, though the ACNA’s canons and constitution does not allow for the ordaining of women by and large, it does allow them to be “grandmothered in” or recieved from jurisdictions that do ordain women.
So, do not worry, the Anglicans coming to Rome will not be joining the liberal Catholics pushing to make the RCC like the TEC. These Anglicans have seen and rejected the innovations to bring the church in line with a sick culture and will not want to see it reproduced in their new home. Hence why on some of the liberal catholic blogs they are very opposed to this “coming home” of conservative, traditional Anglicans. Just ask Hans Kung!
