Actually, this represents an oppurtunity for the Catholic Church, as not much seperates us theologically speaking, besides that idea that the monarch of England is titular head of the church. Certainly the conservative leaning Episcopalians could be persuaded, as I was able to do so with my wife.
I'm not sure what you're saying. The Catholic Church will never pretend that women can be priests. They may bend on the married clergy (IMO), but I just don't see females. Mainly because of the example of the slippery slope into literal depravity that it has led the Episcopalians into.
