The Vatican is, however, understood to be urging those groups wishing to come into communion with it to demonstrate they are comfortable with Church teaching, and that they aren't motivated soley by disillusionment with the Anglican Communion.

Archbishop Hepworth, a former Catholic priest ... what's with that?

"Archbishop Hepworth, a former Catholic priest ... what's with that?"

That is what jumped out at me from the article as well. This is the first time I have heard he was a former Catholic priest.

I wonder if anybody out there would know what his situation is from the canonical p.o.v. if the TAC did reconcile with Rome? Does anyone know if he has married since becoming an Anglican? Would it be likely that he would be able to retain his position if they were in communion with the Catholic Church?
