Ten religious sisters and a priest who were formerly part of an Episcopal religious community were received into full communion with the Catholic Church at a Mass in Maryland on Thursday. One sister said God will use them to bring unity to the Church.
The women were members of the Society of All Saints’ Sisters of the Poor. The former Episcopal priest, Fr. Warren Tanghe, was their chaplain.
“We know our beliefs and where we are,” the sisters’ superior, Mother Christina Christie, told the Baltimore Sun. “We were drifting farther apart from the more liberal road the Episcopal Church is traveling. We are now more at home in the Roman Catholic Church.”
The national church doesn’t care and won’t wake up. The moron presiding bishop will be happy to preside over the gay church (oh! See how accepting we are?!). It’s all socio-political and has nothing to do with serving Christ. The church I attend is conservative and I’m able to earmark monetary givings to scholarships and things that don’t go to the national church or the diocese. Someday the Bible and BCP will be subversive.
I know, or knew, some of these sisters. One of them, all unwitting, was probably as resonsible as any other person for my leaving the priesthood (alleged) of the Episcopal Church and becoming a feelthy (but happy) papist.
I am SO glad that finally they are home!
