I don’t fully understand the structure of the Episopalian Church in the US, but there appear to be other options besides becoming Catholic (although certainly the Catholic Church welcomes them). The International Anglican Communion stands opposed to the US gay coup and (as I understand it) offers a way for the devout to stay Episcopalian.

There are a jazillion “anglican” denominations mostly tiny which dont get along with each other. If one wants a bit of peace and security without constant politics, misery and tectonic shifts every few months, you have to get out of anglicanism entirely these days.

Yes, there are Anglican congregations in the United States which are genuinely Christian. This gentleman must have had additional reasons, other than the apostasy of T.E.C., for becoming Catholic, since he did have legitimate options in the Anglican tradition.

I hope Steenson becomes the next Anglican Use priest in the Catholic Church!

I also hope this spurs the foundation of a permanent Anglican Use church and seminary structure in the Catholic Church. That would be something!
