_ An Episcopal priest who says the church has become too liberal on issues such as the ordination of women and recognition of same-sex unions was defrocked Thursday by the bishop of Pennsylvania.

And isn't this why we have some Episcopal priests becoming either Anglican or Roman Catholic priests?

The term we use is Continuing Anglican. In fact, Forward in Faith North America is now in full communion with the Traditional Anglican Communion - a worldwide communion of Continuing Anglican churches.

Don't know about Catholic, but Anglican definitely. I had such a priest in Georgia who wouldn't go along with the status quo. Of course that is considered rebellious. He ended up leading an Anglican congregation.
