The Episcopal Church gained Fr. Cutie and we get Fr. Steele and family in return. God bless him and his family on their journey!

I had fully embraced Catholic sacramental theology and believed that I could be a Catholic in the Church of England...

What I did not want to experience anymore was proclaiming the teaching of the Church only to end up defending myself rather than the Anglican church defending me.

Welcome to our Church, but isn’t the Tiber River filthy and heavily polluted?

The detritus of the Reformation is now clear to one and all except for those who are so blind as to refuse to see.

Welcome Fr. Steel, and your entire family. May you continue to grow in love for Jesus and His people.

I'm sure it was a struggle for an Anglican priest -- he gives up so much and takes such a risk.

Our happy short cruise across the Tiber was not upsetting in the least - more a feeling of relief and of coming home at last. I think I've said more than once that I was sitting mourning beside a dead body while Mother Church was standing behind me alive and beautiful all the time.

I gave myself to Mary and her Son, uh, what's his name??? Oh yah, Jesus...That's it isn't it???

I'm sure glad I got hooked up with Jesus and not religion...
