I think something is seriously wrong with American Catholics who think they can strong arm His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI into bending to our culture! The Church has clear teachings on homosexuality and on the role of women in the Church and the way I see it, if they don't like what She teaches (what the Pope upholds)why not join a group like say the Episcopal Church who is willing to change with every cultural wind that blows. As for the Episcopalians that are breaking away, I applaud you all and as soon as someone in my town establishes a conservative Anglican Church, I'm there!!

Actually there should be only ONE church. Sectarianism is of the flesh/ carnal says St. Paul in 1Cor. 3:1-4. The 4 marks of the church are: ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC and APOSTOLIC.

This was true until 1054 AD when the first split occurred then the other unfortunate incident of 1517.
So, why shouldn't the Church be united once again? I'm not supporting the Emergent Church Movement for various reasons, but they are not the enemy. The enemy is humanism and the false idea of secularism. You're either for God or against Him, there is no neutral territory.
God Bless You!

The situation in ECUSA is becoming intolerable. I attend an Episcopal church and I've been waiting for this meeting to take place to see what would happen. Now, I'm forced to make a decision. Do I stay in my church or go? What's really astounding to me is how our priests think they can ignore these issues. I spoke with 2 priests in my area and they both are saying "it shouldn't change what we are doing at ......". I don't think I'm the sort of person to be satisfied with the approach that we can carry on the work of Christ if our leaders don't even belief in the Authority of Scripture. This is really the issue isn't it? I think these liberal priests and bishops are saying in effect "Hath God said that homosexuality is sinful?" That they can EVEN ask the question is stunning. I heard a priest say publically to his congregation that an Episcopalian priest, when ordained, does not say he/she believes in the inerrancy of Scripture. The Authority of Scripture is ALL they have to stand on. If they don't stand there everything is up for grabs and they can make it all up as they so please. This is what we see happening in ECUSA. Unlike the Roman Catholic's they have no central Authority that interprets Scripture and declares RIGHTEOUSNESS as God revealed in His Word.
However, the conservative/othodox Anglicans are clinging to TRUTH and thank God for them!!
