QuoteRadical proposals to reunite Anglicans with the Roman Catholic Church under the leadership of the Pope are to be published this year, The Times has learnt.

The proposals have been agreed by senior bishops of both churches.

In a 42-page statement prepared by an international commission of both churches, Anglicans and Roman Catholics are urged to explore how they might reunite under the Pope.

The statement, leaked to The Times, is being considered by the Vatican, where Catholic bishops are preparing a formal response.
Background

It comes as the archbishops who lead the 38 provinces of the Anglican Communion meet in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, in an attempt to avoid schism over gay ordination and other liberal doctrines that have taken hold in parts of the Western Church.

Fascinating how bigotry can unite. Are the Africans really so naive as to not be aware of the long history of homosexuality and the priesthood?

Shame much of the Anglican church is going down the sh*thole. Im fortunate that my local congregation at St. Anns is still walking the walk instead of bizarrely focusing on exclusion and bigotry. However, God wrecked their sanctuary back in 98 with a tornado--so we can take that as perhaps a sign that He does not like musicals, or wimmen that wear trucker hats.

The Catholic Church has grown by leaps and bound locally, due to the hispanic immigration. Wonderful, now I get to hear the screams of the spawn of the baby machines when I go grocery shopping.

Sell stocks in Jebus, buy buy buy Satan!

Catholic church has such strong views that alot of the developing nations like.

Wont be long before the catholic church is slowly moved away from the west as their morals decrease as the freedom increases. Their influence is weakening

they cheeky gits would probably go back to cutting heads of chickens and various voodoo shenanigans if they thought it would allow them to exclude the gays

Bingo. They cater to the natives. Catholicism is mercurial, historically it has bended just enough to be accepted wherever its been adopted. Child molestation, ancestor worship, the Virgin of Guadalupe, liberation theology--dont matter--as long as theyre Catholic. Its very Borg like.

The Catholic church or its non-dairy substitute with the cult of personality of the day is stronger than ever. As long as there is despair, there will be an organisation to exploit that despair for profit and power.

Except where they couldnt bend they were quite willing to torture, massacre or burn. Kill em all and let god sort it out.
