This is a pretty important point. Conservative Episcopalians might be furious at some of the recent liberalization actions, but there are also serious issues regarding marriage of (heterosexual) clergy and the Roman Catholic Church's emphasis on the role of Mary in redemption that would have to be overcome before any true reunitement could occur.

Some of the really "Anglo-Catholic" Anglicans are really Marian. I walked into one of their churches in Newport, RI, and I thought it was a Catholic Church. They pray the Rosary.

True -- some Anglo-Catholics are more Catholic than us RCCs!

Yup, we were That Kind of Episcopalian.

We had a conference with our new Rector, and turns out the only points of dispute were the validity of Anglican Orders and the supremacy of the Pope. We said "We can deal." Obviously the orders weren't valid, or the Holy Spirit would have kept that crowd out of error and heresy. And we figured it was about time we had some Adult Leadership. < g >
