The Episcopal "Church" has became an embarrassment to the Anglican Communion and a disgrace to Christ's Church. This is what the Leftists have done to this once great Church and what they have planned for the rest including the RCC.

It certainly looks that way; however, regardless of all their attempts to thward the One Holy Catholic Church, it hasn't and won't happen.

"Jesus said his Church would be "the light of the world." He then noted that "a city set on a hill cannot be hid" (Matt. 5:14). This means his Church is a visible organization. It must have characteristics that clearly identify it and that distinguish it from other churches. Jesus promised, "I will build my Church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it" (Matt. 16:18). This means that his Church will never be destroyed and will never fall away from him. His Church will survive until his return.

Among the Christian churches, only the Catholic Church has existed since the time of Jesus. Every other Christian church is an offshoot of the Catholic Church. The Eastern Orthodox churches broke away from unity with the pope in 1054. The Protestant churches were established during the Reformation, which began in 1517. (Most of today’s Protestant churches are actually offshoots of the original Protestant offshoots.)"
Pillar of Fire, Pillar of Truth

It seems to me at this time that the large religious organizations have gone the way of the large religious organization in the time of Christ on this earth. It looks as if it may fall to the small specks of salt dotted about the earth that bear no name in particular and know little more than Christ and Him crucified, with humble preachers who preach the scriptures and humble congregations who read and heed the words of Christ. The day has come certainly when they will not endure sound doctrine, rather they gather to themselves false teachers who will tickle their ears and rationalize for them the sins they want to do.
