They are also having to be re-ordained.

Correction: They have to be validly ordained since they never were as Anglicans.

Well, I know what you mean, but they were ordained before in the general sense (though not in the Catholic church as some "high churchers" claim). After all, we refer to "ordained ministers" in all sorts of Protestant denominations, even the dubious "self-ordained" independents.

Whether converting Anglicans had to be reordained was the major issue from Apostolicae Curae on down, so I guess I'm still thinking of the issue from the Anglican point of view.
