Dear Cheverus,

“The married Bishops thing is a problem as is Hepworth’s unusual status as a married ex-Catholic Priest.”

My middle-aged memory may be failing me, but I seem to recall that Archbishop Hepworth has said that he would be willing to step down if it was what was required to achieve reunion with Rome.

I believe you are correct, but there would still be the issue of him functioning as a Priest....a dispensation would be necessary in that case.
