I treasure a comment from our discussion, when I explained that, in the Diocese in Europe, we were not a proselytising church, but we found ourselves ministering to those from different Christian traditions who found themselves drawn to Anglican worship and life. ‘You cannot believe yourself to be a church’, he said, ‘unless you believe in mission: in Europe today no one of us can do it alone.’"<br /><br />What, if any, implications might there be from such Cardinalatial/Papal perspectives with regard to, say, "Apostolicae curae" or the glossing of 'Lumen gentium' 15 with respect to those who "recognize and accept other sacraments within their own Churches [...]. Many of them rejoice in the episcopate, celebrate the Holy Eucharist and cultivate devotion toward the Virgin Mother of God"? <br /><br />Semi-HookerianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18902745.post-71813353774171978432013-03-17T02:49:46.189-04:002013-03-17T02:49:46.189-04:00Well said Fr Hart.

Speaking for Argentina, he is entirely correct, there is no need for an ordinariate, which is also true here in the Middle East where I am.
