It could go on and on and, in place of exercising at least some good inlfuence, instead exercise largely a bad influence.<br /><br />Don't forget that there are still a lot of good people within the bosom of the C of E and their influence can still be for the good in both the C of E and in the nation.<br /><br />And I think that Ecumenism, properly understood, is good, that is, the working together for the common good of Christian denominations.<br /><br />And do not make the elementary mistake of blaming today's Anglicans for the mistakes of people in the 16th century.<br /><br />That is the "sins of ancestors" heresy.<br /><br />So far as I know, Rowan Williams has not murdered anyone!<br /><br />The collapse of the C of E would be another nail in the coffin of society as a whole.<br /><br />So - be careful what you wish for!Tribunushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17330137792269530812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1062692702190792942.post-16287573409164314002012-12-05T14:56:00.435+00:002012-12-05T14:56:00.435+00:00Really, should we care at all, with their "Ar...Really, should we care at all, with their "Archbishops" and "Bishops" appointed by Cabinet? Ecumenism is a sick joke. The sooner they disappear down the plughole the better, and the sooner the private joke of Anglicanism becomes a public joke, the better we will all be. They chose their path in the 16th Century, so let them enjoy their destruction. It is well overdue and may well be God's will, so I say let it be done. Considering the blood of millions of English, Scots, Welsh and Irish are on their hands, so be it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1062692702190792942.post-8375158203956333362012-11-30T20:02:22.171+00:002012-11-30T20:02:22.171+00:00Of course, priestesses and witches were common in ...Of course, priestesses and witches were common in the Old Testament order and most early societies were matriarchies, which is why Christ continued the patriarchal system which the Trinity had set up in the Old Covenant. It is totally a break with both Old and New Testament Teaching as well as the Tradition in the Teaching Magisterium of the Church to allow women priests and bishops. It the Anglicans accept the whole ball of wax, they will have removed themselves totally from any pretence of Christianity.Supertradmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829935047036023159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1062692702190792942.post-28769830310091266662012-11-27T18:18:50.713+00:002012-11-27T18:18:50.713+00:00Well, of course, it doesn't, but the Anglicans...Well, of course, it doesn't, but the Anglicans are not worried by that since they do not recognise Apostolicae Curae.<br /><br />The wider problem is that of the Anglican's idea of the authority of the Synod - can this motely collection of Anglican clergy and clergy wives declare the Incarnation and the Trinity no longer to be Anglican doctrines? - and the "liberal dilemma" which is to refuse to tolerate those who reject bishopettes whilst, at the same time, claiming to be "tolerant" and "liberal"?<br /><br />They fail on both counts and thus become a fatuous self-contradiction.Tribunushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17330137792269530812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1062692702190792942.post-27768635434005288842012-11-26T21:43:32.890+00:002012-11-26T21:43:32.890+00:00A further difficulty is how does any of this squar...A further difficulty is how does any of this square with Apostolae Curae and the Anglican view of "priesthood"?Physiocrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13682019625346594568noreply@blogger.com
