I can't read minds. However, the result will be a mess for the Church of England. As I said elsewhere, if you play with fire, you should not be surprised if you get burned. Rowan should have known that the Vatican will not share authority with what they consider to be just another "apostate, heretical, and schismatic" church.<br /><br />The effect of the Vatican plan on TEC will be less, because many of the disaffected are already gone. The question for those married bishops who have left and those with one foot in and one foot out of TEC will be mainly whether they are willing to become lowly priests forever to join up with Rome. To those bishops, priests, and laity who wish to go to Rome, I say Godspeed. Don't forget to leave the keys.June Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723016934182800437noreply@blogger.com
