Last updated on: October 20, 2009 at 7:31 am By John Shore

“VATICAN CITY — Pope Benedict XVI has created a new church structure for Anglicans who want to join the Catholic Church, responding to the disillusionment of some Anglicans over the ordination of women and the election of openly gay bishops.” Read more about this historic development here. Bottom line? Millions of Anglicans and Episcopalians would rather embrace the Pope than have one of the 112 American Episcopal bishops be gay. Five hundred years of profound separation, and that’s what it... Read more
