TAC: Progress on Union?
You heard it here first, predicted the week of Benedict XVI's election.
The National Catholic Register reports that, apparently, progress is being made:
Meanwhile, discussions at the Vatican on devising a possible structure for the Traditional Anglican Communion to come into communion with Rome are understood to be nearing completion.
The communion is a breakaway group of 400,000 Anglicans opposed to women’s ordination.
However, during his May 5 meeting with Pope Benedict XVI, Williams asked that any potential announcement be delayed until after the Lambeth Conference.
Veteran observers of the Anglicans’ continuing identity crisis are not optimistic that it can be resolved, given the wide gulf that exists between liberal-minded Anglican hierarchies in Western countries and more orthodox bishops in the developing world.
