Thanks. That submission to the ultimate authority of the Pope would be a revolutionary change, and break with history. I don't see it, but well, my "expertise" on these matters is next to nil, as so many posters have so helpfully reminded me.

The entire Anglican Church would not move over, of course. Those who want to put the Vernon Robinson mess behind them (a not insignificant number of parishes in the US and a fairly large contingent in Africa and South America) would be in the first wave.

From then on, it'll be anybody's guess as to how the rest of the Anglicans tilt.

That's the way I see it, anyway.
