Anglican daughters returns home to their mother in Rome

The Pope will make it possible for married Anglican priests to serve in the Catholic Church, and for whole Anglican parishes to become local divisions of the Vatican.

Pope Benedict XVI has created a new church structure for Anglicans who wish to join to the Roman Catholic fold. The Arcbishop of Westminster Rowan Williams did not get the chance to inform his bishops.

«The issues and the questions that face any one Christian Church at the moment face all of us, and we don’t believe there’s anything to be gained by trying to score points at each other’s expense or working separately when we can work together».

«Naturally we will be praying for strength and discernment for those who might want to avail themselves of this offer…»

«We don’t know exactly what this is going to look like in any specific context, least of all in England and Wales».

The Archbishops did insist that there would not be the sort of legal wranglings over Church property that the US is experiencing. Dr Williams said:

«I think there would be quite formidable legal obstacles to the alienation of a parish church», Catholic Archbishop Nichols added: Would not expect it either.

The first group likely to take advantage of the new rules is the Traditional Anglican Community (TAC), which broke off from the rest of the community in 1991 and claims to have more than 500,000 members worldwide.

The new provision also allows for married Anglican priests to become ordained Catholic priests. However, they will not be allowed to become Catholic bishops.

My comment:

A pastor asked me:

«If Rome is the Great Mystery Babylon, and the mother of Harlots, than who are the harlots?»

One «protestant» harlot is now on the way back home to her mother in Rome.

Its interesting that the Roman Catholic Church now will get an Anglican division with married priests. But they will not be allowed to become Catholic Bishop.

The Anglican Church left Rome in 1534. The Papal system does not confess faith in the Bible as the sole Word of God. Rome still ad not-Biblical papal doctrines and pagan traditions to the Catholic religion.
