Michael Novak, writing in the Journal First Things, comments on the meeting between Pope John Paul II and Dr. George Carey, the Archbishop of Canterbury, in May 1992. In the interim period between Inter Insigniores and this meeting, the Anglican Communion had progressed on its movement towards the acceptance of women into the sacramental priesthood. In response, he noted an unnamed Vatican official as saying that "the Catholic Church, for fundamental theological reasons, does not believe it has a right to authorize such ordination."Right up front, the article makes IMO significant comments re the Anglican church, yet they've been excluded from the discussion by virtue of the thread being a Catholic/Orthodox caucus. Why is that?
Are you Anglican, Alex Murphy?
