Yup, and according to the Left Behind books, the anti-Christ is a Romanian!!! My Romanian friends love that — first Dracula, now the anti-Christ is Romanian! hoo-haa!

If my diocese leaves, I will know the time has come. It’s a case of trusting those who know more than I do, and who have proven worthy of such trust. My “Godfather” is one of the clergy at our parish, actually. He sponsored me for Baptism a few years ago, and my sponsor for Confirmation is also one of the clergy there. I have close ties to them, and they have been instrumental in my... well, I’ve said all that.

I have major concerns about where to attend Mass in the future, though. I will (hopefully) be joining the Army soon, which means moving away. In turn, that means not having a reliable parish at which to attend Mass, which comes with all the expected problems. I will NOT take Communion at an ECUSA church. I will attend Mass at a Roman Catholic Church, but until I can find something that indicates it is acceptable for me to take Communion there, I won’t do it, out of respect. I really don’t know what to do.

It has become a very real problem for me.

Our Diocese is affiliated with the Anglican Church in North America, and is currently within the province of the Southern Cone (South America) due to the split with ECUSA.

I think your diocese's group was right to switch communion.

Your diocese has already effectively left the pinko ECUSA-CoE and congratulations on that. May God bless you'll and keep you in the Faith.

And, my apologies — I never knew there was a 4th option — your way. I thought all the Southern-Cone type Anglicans were reformed/pentecostals.

I think it's good for you to attend and you are of course welcome to attend a Catholic mass. However, you are correct, we cannot, unfortunately, share communion with you due to various reasons (we don't really have to go through this here as its not relevant).

I believe that ideally you need to receive communion at least once a year, so perhaps you can go to a ACNA Church at least once to receive communion, while attending Catholic masses when you have no ACNA parish nearby?

If I were in your shoes, I would also not take communion at the ECUSA as the denomination is definitely no longer Christian, but would be as confused as you about the rest. I'm sorry I can't give you any better suggestions.

I’m so sorry for your troubles. God bless and keep you, and continue to guide you on the journey, in Christ’s Name I ask it.

If the British Anglicans are worried about gay clergy, I’m not sure the Catholic church is the direction they should head.

The problem is less gay clergy than a takeover of the Church by gay clergy. The Catholic Church has headed that off at the pass.

Unfortunately, the way the pinkos attacked the ELCA, ECUSA, PCUSA shows they played their hand too quickly, and the Holy Spirit was protecting the Church. We have learnt from these pinkos and are on our guard against them.

“Some real people untainted by the push to turn sex into perversion between 2 men or 2 women are finally making a stand.”

They are not taking a stand. They are running away from the battle. The front line in the war for the soul of western civilization is in the Anglican Communion. From Recife to Rwanda, Sydney to Savannah, faithful followers of the Risen Lord have declared that they will not run from the heretics. They are standing and fighting. And they are winning.

The Anglican Church has lost it’s ‘salt’, and has become tasteless.
