I am not denying it. As someone who as played a minor role - a very minor role - in the preparation work that helped make the ordinariate possible in this country I have no reason to deny anything. I simply affirm the truth - Anglicans are Protestants.
You think the only thing separating Catholics and Anglicans is rites? Anglicans ARE PROTESTANTS. There’s a HUGE difference.
Catholics are protestants as well.. they protest against being non catholic..
Delusions of grandeur, I suppose..
But the saving grace is not all catholics are catholics..
Nor all protestants protestants..
Heck all Christians are not Christians either..
Religion is a very special kind of evil...
Jesus came to make ALL religion obsolete, AND DID...
Thats my happy thought of the day..
Maybe this opens the ‘back’ door to allow Catholics who want to be married into the priesthood...
