Um...no. Why would this author take such a stab at the Anglican Church? I thought that was the closest denomination to the Roman one.

In Protestant Churches, Scriptural authority would not allow for a female to be a priest or ‘bishop’. To step outside the bounds of Scripture is to leave the Protestant realm, just as to allow abortion supporters to participate in mass is to step outside the Roman realm.

Huh. I used to work weekends in a fabric store, and some Sundays a woman wearing a sash proclaiming her as "Princess Bishop" of one of the local storefront churches would come in to shop. So did the leader of the local coven, but that's another story.
