Well, first, a few questions the Catholics must ask --- what if the mass were officiated by an ordained WOMAN ? What if it were officiated by an openly gay priest who left his wife and is now "married" to his partner ?

Read the press releases before you make silly comments like this, they're very helpful. Had you read them you would have read that the Anglican groups that will be received are those who profess the doctrine set for in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Does that catechism allow for women or openly gay priests?

Read the CONTEXT of my response before you call my remarks silly. It was in response to a question asked -- Will Catholics be allowed to Anglican Mass ? I suspect the answer will eventually be yes. But my question goes further --- The Anglican church NOW ordains Women and Gay Priests. The question is then to those Catholics who PLAN to attend Anglican masses -- would they want to do that IF the mass were being officiated by anyone of these ?

Before you answer that question --- ask yourself how many UNFAITHFUL/LIBERAL Catholics there are worldwide.

Yep, they can preach the word of God all they want, they just can’t confect the eucharist. Strictly speaking, they shouldn’t give the homily or be anywhere in the sanctuary part of the church, but I’m not a stickler.

Oh, and they really ought to cover their heads when in church. Rather undecent to do otherwise, eh wot.
