It's obvious what's happening.
Both churches are realigning and their memberships are adjusting accordingly. The Catholic Church is picking up conservative Episcopalian parishioners and even priests - indeed, talks are underway to bring in the entire Traditional Anglican Communion - and liberal Catholics are going Episcopalian.
So we get Al Kimel. They get Matthew Fox.
It saddens me to see anyone leave the Church. But I'll take that tradeoff.
