"you may not be able to "merge" with the Bride of Christ since the odds are your priests have NO apostolic lineage" That is without a doubt one of the most arrogant statements of religious elitism I have ever seen on FR.

Elite? No. Elitism would be to say your religion sucks and mine is better.
My statement is a fact. Research the lineage of the Episcopalian church and you'll find that indeed that most of the Bishops DO NOT have apostolic lineage. Those who may have hedged their ordination do.
In terms of Christianity, apostolic lineage is no small matter.

I never knew that some Catholics consider themselves the only "true Christians" till I came to FR....
