In Catholic terms that I'm certain he understands - which makes his comments even more baffling - he's essentially asking why the Anglican Communion's commitment to eliminating sacraments should be an impediment to sacramental communion.

I can't make up my mind though whether stating that female ordination and the papacy are second order issues was telling the Romans where to stuff their Ordinariate or whether he's so far gone along the yellow brick road of contemporary Anglican thought that he actually believes himself. Either way I'm surprised he said it in Rome itself.margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07727534908302610374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25740524.post-25325167111344398232009-11-20T04:17:57.934-05:002009-11-20T04:17:57.934-05:00Earlier this year, the Orthodox Church in America ...Earlier this year, the Orthodox Church in America came to the conclusion that its ecumenical efforts with Anglicans would be better invested in discussion with those Anglicans who actually show some regard for the historic Christian Faith, having come to realise that talks with ECUSA/TEC/whatever-it's-calling-itself-this-week were an exercise in futility. They were never going to rescind their changes.<br /><br />At last, someone at top level in the Church of England has been honest enough to state that they have no intention of relinquishing those things that are the cause of their state of separation.<br /><br />There are many Anglicans who, attached to their Anglican culture, also would like to see more historic Christianity taught and lived in the CofE. I think that now the time has come for them to decide which is more important to them: their Angican cultural heritage or their place within the life of the Church, the Body of Christ. If they chose the latter, they'll not find it where they are and they'll have to relinquish their mantra of "There's no place like Rome".Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04972938279831428593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25740524.post-74976703714745704082009-11-20T00:56:23.503-05:002009-11-20T00:56:23.503-05:00Anastasia - this is fundamental to the Catholic po...Anastasia - this is fundamental to the Catholic position as well.
