“I have pondered your statement and tried to imagine a scenario where any possible insinuations of the same would have any plausibility. I confess that I am at a loss.”

The folks you are offering to joint you in your faith were not able to prevent gays from taking over their faith. Maybe they’d be better Catholics than Anglicans, but I suspect not.

The gays will keep trying to infiltrate your faith, I do hope you keep them from sneaking in the back door, so to speak.

I have to disagree with your suggestion. Here are three reasons:

1. Those who would depart the Anglican Communion for Rome would not include the “progressives” who wish to mainstream homosexuality and a socially progressive theology.

2. In terms of liturgy, the Anglo-Catholics tend to be more conservative and traditionalist than most Roman Catholics. They presumably would be a force toward greater traditionalism within the RCC.

3. Roman Catholicism has something called the magisterium, or official “settled” teaching of the church which precludes adoption of novel theologies such as occurred within the AC.
