He has a responsibility towards the whole of the Anglican Communion to make sure that not one further soul is lost to Christianity as a result of his flirting with the truth.<br /><br />The letter as sent by him to the Canadian clergy and others should be published in the open domain for all to take cognisance of.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18902745.post-11615091097940250962011-05-10T11:48:52.591-04:002011-05-10T11:48:52.591-04:00I'm actually very sad for the Anglo-papists.

I hope they keep their discontent to themselves, and maybe the best thing to do is just start attending a local Roman church, asking the parish priest if the Anglican-Use or Tridentine Mass can be given on occasion.charleshttp://www.anglicanrose.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18902745.post-44684312040869254282011-05-10T08:27:53.315-04:002011-05-10T08:27:53.315-04:00Well, as my Scottish ancestors would have said, th...Well, as my Scottish ancestors would have said, this certainly will set "the de'il amang the tailors"!<br /><br />What will the TAC Canadians do now? If they truly believe that there's "nulla salus" outside communion with the Bishop of Rome, then surely they must walk over to the nearest Roman parish and convert, Vatican Rag, priest as bartender, and all, without a moment's delay. The basic premise of "Anglicanorum Coetibus" was preposterous anyway: why, in all logic, would one imperil one's salvation by delaying conversion for one second in the hope of being allowed to worship in Elizabethan English?<br /><br />If on the other hand they see communion with the Pope as desirable but not necessary, then I hope that they will re-embrace traditional Anglicanism and return to us in the St. Louis Churches where they will receive a joyous welcome home!Colin Chattannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18902745.post-51123422957004332982011-05-10T04:30:31.772-04:002011-05-10T04:30:31.772-04:00I can not imagine that this hold is in response to...I can not imagine that this hold is in response to only a small number coming over to Rom. Rome has always been willing to take individuals before, so why should now be any different? <br /><br />I wonder if this hold will be across all of North America, or just in Canada? Did something happen in the fledgling ordinariate in England that brought about this hold? Did something happen in the U.S. or Canada?<br /><br />I doubt we will ever know the true cause unless Rome shares it with us, and they are certainly under no obligation to do so. However this could lead to some awkwardness within the ACCC and the ACA with those that thought they were leaving any day now, suddenly finding themselves remaining in place indefinitely among those they were abut to split from. <br /><br />I hope this does not further split the continuum. We have too much of that already.AFS1970noreply@blogger.com
