"but this "they can't leave just because their church has become even more heretical" argument has been used by Modernist Catholic bishops for years to keep out Anglicans."
I wouldn't call Declan a "Modernist Catholic Bishop" simply for the reason that he is not a Catholic. He is well known as being among the most liberal of bishops who opened his Cathedral and hosted a "Wimmin's Ordination Conference" where he presided alongside a female Lutheran "bishop".
He doesn't want any of these Anglicans converting because he is fully behind the ordination of wimmin in the Catholic Church. His was another class appointment of the last pontificate which encouraged at least one priest I know of to join the SSPX.
Well--
1) This puts a different light on the statement.
2) Why am I not surprised about your testimony?
