Catholics and Anglicans - one step closer to Christian Unity?  | |  I recently read some news articles about how the Roman Catholic church has created a new way for Anglicans (those who wish to) to join in full communion with the Roman church while retaining their traditions and Anglican spiritual heritage and identity. From what I understand, it comes about as a result of work on the behalf of some Anglo-Catholic groups working to find solutions for Anglicans who were disaffected by recent changes and decisions in the Anglican church but who did not want to lose their traditions and spiritual heritage. It provides for married Anglican priests as well (following the same precedents as in the Eastern rite churches).
To me it seems like a great step forward in interchurch relations and a return to Christian unity, but at the same time I don't know how they've approached some of the subtle, yet important doctrinal issues - like consubstantiation and whether God's revelation is complete, Mariology, etc.
What are your thoughts? Have you even heard of this? Do you think it's a good thing? Unimportant? Unwise? I'd be really interested to hear some other perspectives.

I am happy that married Anglican priest can be embraced as they are into Catholic family. I wish this is one area of concern. I think celibacy should not be required to become priest. I appreciate the stand taken by Vatican regarding homosexual practice. | |

In minor ones.........tolerance
In everything.........charity
Organizational unity may not be possible because of doctrinal and practice differences but the above principle can always be applied.
cheers!

| | 4.  book1962 (14518) | 1 month ago |  hi I read it yesterday in a Catholic bulletin I got online and I am doing the happy dance here. LOL. I find it wonderful that the Anglicans who want to may join the Catholic Church but are not forced to give up their own traditions. Nor will their priests be unemployed only cause they are married. If we would have a former Anglican who is married as priest in our parish I would be happy.
