I receive an e-mail from Athanasius!

The logic of ecumenism

What next - a single diocese with two bishops?

Well after all, the partnered Church of England church "places great importance on eucharist-centred worship and on teaching the Catholic faith in its totality" !!! (Cathcon- yeah- right- just try telling that to Elizabeth I.)

But then this Catholic Bishop "as well as Liturgy, is also very interested in Ecumenism"


And has form on both counts -

"As Roman Catholics we need to examine our own consciences. For centuries, and even on occasions since Vatican II, we have implied, if not expressed, an "ecclesiological superiority" towards other churches, which must often have made them feel like second-class citizens. Sadly, some may be inclined to see the recent Vatican response to the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission, wrongly or rightly, as a further sign of this."

And he doesnt seem (or want to) get the point of His Holiness recent Motu proprio on the Extraordinary Form


Our Lady of Walsingham, come to the aid of our bishops!
