The Evangelicals (even those in this country) probably would not have signed on, but the "high" contingent (of which we were a part) almost certainly would have.
And that could well have eventually led to a split between "high" and "low" . . . along the lines of FiF . . . instead of the now impending split between "believers" and "heretics" . . .
But the fact remains that there was at one time a willingness on the part of Rome to reconsider the validity of the Apostolic Succession in the Anglican communion.
And despite your protestations, the fact that the conference which had been working on this matter for almost 3 decades was abruptly shelved after GC 2003 seems to me to be more than a coincidence.
So while you were a member of the Episcopal church, was it "Apostolic"? if it was "Apostolic" then why can the church of Rome not say so? Why do they have to have endless confabs to discuss and "reconsider the validity"...
to revisit the bull " Apostolicae curae", etc. It is either true or not. Honestly, it is not something to be negotiated retrospectively.
" Let your yes be yes and your no be no"- something along these lines.
