A new leap of faith?
The decision of the Vatican to work to bring in Anglicans has puzzled me. I do recall being told as a child that the ultimate purpose of the Roman Catholic Church was to make everyone a Catholic, even after the Second Vatican Council. I was told that it was a purpose that had never changed and would never change in the future. But maybe things really have changed since then. A true clasp across such a chasm could be a momentous occasion. My lingering concern is that a chasm, by its very nature, has no middle ground. Even if they reach for each other with the best of intentions, one party must be completely pulled to other's side or both will fail and fall in the process. I hope things can work out for those searching to do the right thing.
