Except for his Bush bashing, Buchanan is 100% correct in this article.
Buchannan does not seem to be able to reconcile his opinions with many of the Bush administration's policies. Some may consider that to be admirable, but I see Pat as being extremeist, and simply out of touch.
His main problem is his xenophobia. Sorry Pat, but the world is a smaller place now than it was in the 1780's.
"Except for his Bush bashing, Buchanan is 100% correct in this article." Elkiejg
I'd say 98% correct. He stated: "the Episcopal Church has been teaching homophobia 600 years".
Church of England began in 1534. That's only 469 years. Yea, I'm nic-picking.
The episcopal church is beginning to resemble Gaius Caligula’s Rome just before its downfall and destruction. Could history be repeating itself? Is it possible there are a few indisputable truths that are proven over and over again throughout history? Will be interesting to watch the implosion. Find a safe hilltop to watch the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.
There has been a long and often close relationship between
the Anglican and Catholic Churches. In certain situations
there remains a mutual recognition of the validity of key
doctrines, liturgies, and practices. And the Catholic
Church continues to hold the faith and moral teachings as
taught by the Apostles.
In 1980 the Holy See, in response to requests from priests
and laity of the Episcopal Church who were seeking full
communion with the Catholic Church, created a Pastoral
Provision to provide them with special pastoral attention.
It also authorized the establishment of personal parishes
in dioceses of the United States in response to the request
of former faithful of the Episcopal Church in which they
may retain certain liturgical elements proper to the
Anglican tradition. This
Anglican Use liturgy uses the
Book of Common Prayer (with minor updates) for the Mass.
So there is no need to lose the liturgy Anglicans are
familiar with. This Mass is valid for all Catholics as well.
Under the Provision the ordination of married Episcopal
priests was made possible as well. Since 1983, close to 100
former Episcopal ministers have been ordained for priestly
ministry in Catholic dioceses of the United States; several
AU parishes have been established and the Book of Divine
Worship has been authorized.
