Read the press releases before you make silly comments like this, they're very helpful.

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.

The original question asked whether a Latin Rite Catholic could attend an Anglican Use Mass.

An "Anglican Use Mass" is a valid Catholic liturgy, in communion with the Pope, offered by a validly ordained Catholic priest. (Who is most certainly not a female.)

Therefore, the answer is "yes".

You are not understanding what is happening here. This is not a recipricol thing happening here. The Catholic Church is welcoming Anglicans who convert and is telling them that they can keep their liturgy. There is already a “Book of Divine Worship” that Anglican-Use Catholic Churches use. It is a combination of the “Book of Common Prayer” with the Catholic Words of Consecration inserted into it, making it fully Catholic. This does not mean that Catholics will be attending Anglican services - unless the particular church involved has converted to Rome. They will not convert (or be received) unless they subscribe to all the tenents of the Faith as found in the Catechism. So your question is moot.

You seem out of touch with the actual “Anglicans” being discussed here. We are talking about the TAC - not the Anglican Church. The TAC does not, and never has, and never will, ordain women or gay priests. That’s exactly why they came into being as a corporate body - to avoid ordaining women.

“The question is then to those Catholics who PLAN to attend Anglican masses”

There will be no such thing. It will be a CATHOLIC Mass said according to the Anglican Use. I have the option of attending one now where I live.

“would they want to do that IF the mass were being officiated by anyone of these ?”

Since your original point is moot - there are no women clergy or openly gay clergy in the TAC - no Catholic will have a problem attending a Catholic Mass according to the Anglican Use as said by a Catholic priest who formerly was a member of TAC.

The Anglican church NOW ordains Women and Gay Priests.

I don't think you understand Anglicanism or you wouldn't make this statement. Some Anglican churches ordain women and gays. Some do not. There is no single Anglican Church. Rome understands this and is dealing with it accordingly - that's why the Archbishop of Canterbury has that "lemon sucking" face today.
