Dear sitetest,

You read it as I thought I read it. Both options are non-starters for communions such as ours, which long ago separated from the Episcopal Church. I am actually wondering why Rome is not considering autocephalous status for us. This would delay full integration, but it would shorten the ecclesial distance in the middle term, something I should think all of us really want.

Dear BelegStrongbow,

“I am actually wondering why Rome is not considering autocephalous status for us.”

I don't think that it would matter. The Catholic Church will not accept communion with a body that has a married episcopacy. It's just not in the cards.
