If the Anglican communion I am not suggesting this will
happen...before you get irrate
with me, it's just a dream I
have. All Catholics would love
to welcome back our Anglican
brothers and sisters.

i believe that if it got to that point - they would maintain their positions but they would be a different level. i don't want to sound as horrible as that does but....there would be duties that would not befall them. i don't believe they should be "defrocked" but rather, as married clergy are presetnly - welcomed openly. |

Only God knows when this miracle will happen. "The Catholic Church embraces with hope the commitment to ecumenism as a duty of the Christian conscience enlightened by faith and guided by love…Jesus himself, at the hour of his Passion, prayed 'that they may all be one' (John 17:21)." -- Pope John Paul II, Ut Unum Sint, May 25, 1995. The Catholic Church in the United States already has the following open dialogs with her sister Churches: - The North American Orthodox-Catholic Theological Consultation - The Joint Committee of Orthodox and Catholic Bishops - The Oriental Orthodox-Roman Catholic Consultation - The Polish National Catholic-Roman Catholic Dialogue - The Anglican-Roman Catholic Consultation USA - The Lutheran-Catholic Dialogue - Roman Catholic-Reformed Consultation - The United Methodist-Catholic Dialogue - Southern Baptist Convention-Catholic Dialogue - The Evangelical-Catholic Dialogue - Faith and Order Commission, National Council of Churches of Christ in the USA - Consultation with the National Council of Synagogues - Consultation with the Orthodox Union and the Rabbinical Council of America - Midwest Dialogue of Catholics and Muslims - Mid-Atlantic Dialogue of Catholics and Muslims - West Coast Dialogue of Catholics and Muslims Here is the joint declaration of justification by Catholics (1999), Lutherans (1999), and Methodists (2006): By grace alone, in faith in Christ's saving work and not because of any merit on our part, we are accepted by God and receive the Holy Spirit, who renews our hearts while equipping us and calling us to good works. http://www.vatican.va/roman_cu ria/pontifical_councils/chrstu ni/documents/rc_pc_chrstuni_do c_31101999_cath-luth-joint-dec laration_en.html http://www.usccb.org/seia/offi cialdialogues.shtml With love in Christ. |

According to The Concise Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church: "Anglicanism. The word properly denotes the system of doctrine and practice of those Christians who are in communion with the see of Canterbury, but it is used especially of that system in so far as it claims to possess a religious and theological outlook distinguishable from that of other Christian communities. As a doctrinal system it took shape in the reign of Elizabeth I. Its formularies, including the Book of Common Prayer, the Ordinal, the Thirty-Nine Articles, and the Books of Homilies, became the basis of Anglican self-understanding, preaching, and doctrine. In the 17th cent. the C of E confirmed its rejection of the claims of Rome and refused to adopt the theological and ecclesiastical systems of the Continental Reformers. The historic episcopate was preserved, though many did not regard it as of Divine institution. The extent of legitimate change was held to be limited by appeal to the Bible as containing all things necessary to salvation. Truth was to be sought from the joint testimony of Scripture and ecclesiastical authority, which in its turn was to be based on the tradition of the first four centuries. At the Restoration in 1660, the dominant party comprised High Churchmen, who stressed the continuity of the C of E with its Catholic roots. The Cambridge Platonists (1633–88) and their successors emphasized devotional religion as well as a conservative respect for the wisdom of the past. Their immediate heritage was a latitudinarianism which gained strength in the early 18th cent.; it emphasized practical Christian living, morality, and a distrust of enthusiasm. The emergence of Evangelicalism among Anglicans in Britain and the USA in the later 18th cent. may be seen in part as a reaction against this trend. The Oxford Movement (q.v.) sought to restore to Anglicanism a sense of its roots and sacramental life as part of the Catholic Church. By the mid-20th cent. many of the practices advocated by its leaders had been accepted. Until 1948 Lambeth Conferences regarded the BCP as a bond in the Anglican Communion; with minor revisions it was used throughout the world in some language or other. In the second half of the 20th cent. there was much liturgical experimentation and almost every Province produced a different Prayer Book. The increasing proportion of Anglicans in non-English-speaking countries contributes to the challenge of maintaining a unity of ethos in contemporary Anglicanism. The ordination of women to the priesthood and episcopate in some Provinces and not in others and questions of same-sex partnerships and the role of homosexuals in ministry have strained the bounds of comprehensiveness of Anglicanism and highlighted questions of authority."
