On that one you're going to ask the folks at Forward In Faith, sorry!

Fair enough. But it still seems odd given the, um, traditional order of authority in the Anglican Communion wherein there is no one necessarily-infallible human authority, but instead at the top level is the council of primates.

I think of Article 26 ...

And if they submit, I guess they give up Article 19: "...the Church of Rome hath erred..." (Of course, if they submit, the Articles no longer govern.)

Since most of the Anglo-Catholics don't take these seriously in a Protestant sense and accept the Catholic Catechism as a rule of faith, I don't see a problem.
