My diocese broke ranks with ECUSA back in 2007. It formed together with a couple other break-away dioceses and non-Episcopalian Anglican-style churches to form the Anglican Church in North America. It's a young movement at the moment but there are quite a few of us who are devoted into making it something bigger. I bring this up only to state that significant action IS being taken, albeit not yet on the necessary scale. At any rate, it's a start.

I know that many Catholics have hope that conservative Anglicans will move in their direction. I believe that is a wonderful sentiment but not likely to happen on a massive scale anytime soon. Speaking for myself, I am still very much Protestant in my outlook, albeit using traditional forms that historically reflect Catholic belief and practice.

As a Catholic, I don’t see the movement of conservative Anglicans into our Church as such a positive step; we have our own problems with dissent, and this would complicate it. The fact that they’ve accepted so much liberalism for years, only to balk at the homosexuality question, doesn’t lead me to think they have much in common with Catholic ideology.

  2. Abortion
  3. Transubstantian
  4. Episcopal hierachy
  5. Divorce
