"It should be understood that an expansion of sacramental sharing with one church would not be indicative of a greater degree of communion with the Catholic Church."

Such a statement is (or should be) profoundly embarrassing to anyone with a patristic understanding of communion. The fact that a Catholic bishop could make a statement like that is an added reason for why restoration of communion is unlikely to occur in my lifetime.

The reverse, however, has never been allowed, ever.

Why the change now, I wonder.
