Hopefully the best of both traditions will emerge.

Awesome ! I think you will see more of this soon.

[Lemmy]

...because when you're already half-nuts you might as well just go full-blown.

Because same sex marriage should not be allowed?

With the defection they get twelve altar boys and a special rate at the no-tell motel chain.

With more married priests joining the Catholic faith maybe the Catholic heirarchy will abandon the celibacy bullshit they imposed on their clergy and return to allowing individual clergy members deciding whether or not they want to married or celibate.

1 Timothy 4

$1:

1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

2Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

3Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

Hmmmm. it expressely says in 1 Timothy 3:2

$1:

A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

because 1 Timothy 3:5 says

$1:

For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?

It also says the same thing for priests. It was a money grab like most things Catholics added on later.

No! it should

[EyeBrock]

Ahh, Anglicans are fine by me. And they have that English tradition thing on the go.

Jolly good stuff!

[kenmore]

The fact is they are so very close in beliefs that it's hard to define one from the other.
