"I believe the position is going to be agree-to-disagree about Mary

If that's the case then The Traditional Anglican Communion won't be coming home to the Roman Catholic Church. You either accept all of the teachings and publicly profess belief in said teachings of the Church or you won't be confirmed. The Church isn't a smorgasbord."

If the TAC holds the traditional "Anglo-Catholic" beliefs about Mary, then they follow Rome's lead on this already and they will probably be more orthodox on this issue than most in the N.O. Church.

In fact, apart from them not being in communion in Rome, they are probably more orthodox than most home-grown Catholics in most areas of doctrine. It is the convert former-Anglican clergy who seem to be having a harder time with the liberalization of the faith in these parts than do the cradle-Catholic clergy.

As a cradle Episcopalian, and an RCIA Candidate, I can agree wholeheartedly. It's the liberal crp we're trying to escape. I'll hear people spout off with something they think is oh, so modern, and I want to shake them and say, don't you realize that's what destroyed the mainline protestants?
