...Meantime God wills for Wesleyans the greater good still of a return to the Catholic Church...
Actually, God wills for all mankind to be born-again out of their life of sin into a life of salvation and sin-free living.
This is what Wesley preached.
A freedom from sin inspired and created by faith in the Son of God and the sacrifice he made on Calvary. A freedom from the dead works of man and the traditions of men masquerading as the edicts of God.
A freedom to live above sin, not continually sinning and having to confess your sin on a regular basis to mortal man.
This is the Godly freedom Wesly preached and it is the same Gospel that Jesus and his Apostles presented as well.

“The world is my parish!” - John Wesley
That’s part of what both the Church of England and the Catholic Church hated - and still hate - about the Wesleyan doctrines. After all, where did the word, “parochial” come from?
