Cleric warns: if women bishops approved, 800 Anglican priests could join Catholic Church
As a former Anglican, all I can say is the more Anglican priests who join the Catholic Church the better!Anglican priests may defect to Catholic Church if women bishops approved, warned cleric
London, Jul. 12, 2005 (CNA) - A senior cleric in the Church of England has warned that he and as many as 800 other priests may join the Roman Catholic Church if the General Synod of the Anglican Communion approves women bishops.
Anglican Bishop Andrew Burnham of Ebbsfleet was the first to make this statement this past weekend, reports journalist Christopher Morgan.
The General Synod decided yesterday to approve the access of women to the Anglican episcopate. The new policy was decided by 42 votes against six, after a three hour long debate.
The vote in favor means women’s ordination to the episcopate will be three years away.
