August, 18 2008Traditional Anglican Communion primate discusses quest for union with Rome
Bishops of the TAC signed the Catechism of the Catholic Church on the altar during a Mass for unity. Archbishop John Hepworth, the worldwide leader of the Anglican group, speaks at length-- but with some diplomatic care-- about negotiations with the Holy See. This conversation touches on the most important issues in those talks:
Why don't Anglican priests enter the Catholic Church individually? Why are they looking for a corporate solution?
Will Anglican clerics accept the Vatican's judgment that they are not validly ordained, and will need to be (conditionally) "re-ordained" for ministry in the Catholic Church?
Could we possibly see the development of an Anglo-Catholic prelature? A distinct rite? What are the canonical options?
Have Catholic bishops shown enthusiasm about the possibilities? Or are they setting up roadblocks?
