Episcopal Church USA (Europe Office) Slams Pope Benedict

Last Anglican related post for the day. Windows has gone out on my home computer so I want to post and keep note of some things I have been wanting post on and keep track of.

Goodness. See the thoughts of Bishop-in-charge of the Convocation of American Churches. (Episcopal Church USA)

Please do not confuse him with the much more balanced Church of England guy that is the bishop for Europe. Compare and contrast the posts.

For the mad TEC USA Bishop that is in Europe thoughts(rants) see here SNACKERAL MAPPERS

I just want to add a couple of things. First his pitting Good Pope John Paul the II against Bad Ole Pope Benedict is not very well thought out. Let us recall that it was under John Paul the II we had the pastoral provision, the first Anglican Use Parishes, and of course the infamous PLANO Texas statement. The Good Bishop knows this he just wants to incite the whole anti Benedict faction.

Second a whole bunch of this was not secret unless you were not reading the papers. These Anglican groups have been talking to Rome for years. At some point they could not be ignored

He also said "The Vatican can rest assured that we Anglicans will not create “Roman-rite jurisdictions” for unhappy Roman Catholics!"

LOL let me say there would be no demand for that. At least when you cross the "Thames" you have at times a more Catholic looking Liturgy with more solemnity and one can often kneel.

The one major benefit!!!

So I expect no rush to a Anglican version of Father Moonbeam and Sister Sandals Anglican Roman Rite Parishes and Liturgies. I don't think many former Catholics now Anglicans are missing the Glory and Praise and demanding they stand for communion.
