They are in no shape to fight Islam. But if they seek true unity with the Catholic Church that might make a difference.<BR/><BR/>Fr.

Of course, if you insist on reducing a rational contribution about the catholicity of Anglicanism to the irreducible minima of monotheism, then there is indeed no more to say.Archbishop Cranmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16817505540390495385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33970956.post-30961086950683494652008-02-19T17:06:00.000+00:002008-02-19T17:06:00.000+00:00... but to Christianity rather than to any particu...<I>... but to Christianity rather than to any particular denomonational expression of it.</I><BR/><BR/>Using similar logic, one can say the current "void fillers" are merely trying to convert England to monotheism rather than any denominational expression of it.Rich Leonardihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01060538864273399240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33970956.post-19296055030780607492008-02-18T14:51:00.000+00:002008-02-18T14:51:00.000+00:00His Grace has long prayed for the conversion of En...His Grace has long prayed for the conversion of England - but to Christianity rather than to any particular denomonational expression of it.<BR/><BR/>Sadly, while Fr Nichols is focused on converting disenchanted Anglicans, another faith is cheerfully filling the void.Archbishop Cranmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16817505540390495385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33970956.post-70956387428337441252008-02-17T00:00:00.000+00:002008-02-17T00:00:00.000+00:00Must get it.The sociology of the faith is very int...Must get it.<BR/>The sociology of the faith is very interesting. However my feeling is that what drives everything is more fundamental, a doubt about the existence of God.<BR/><BR/>Most lapsed Catholics don't lapse into out and out intellectual atheism, but the fact that atheism is there means that there isn't a route back into the Church for their children. That's why, personally, I see the atheism debate as the crucial one.<BR/><BR/>Fr Nichols is right that almost everything the liberals have demanded has actually been done in the Anglican church, and they are in the same situation of decline as us. However you can argue it the other way. If Anglicans hadn't gone down the priestesses / affirmations of gay weddings route, they still wouldn't be in any better situation than the Catholics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
