I agree with you. The Catholic Church these days seems to welcome the traditionalists of all kinds and push away those who enjoy reading 'the signs of the times.' The nice things about the times is that they keep a-changin' whether those in power want it or not. I smiled at your swap idea. Yes, it feels like the more conservative sectors of the Roman Catholic Church wish the less so would leave... Blessings Thank you very much, Lacey, for these comments. I agree with you.

I wonder where in the Catechism you can find that women and gays are not, or less than people? Also, what rights are being denied to women and gays? I think you're referring to ordination to the priesthood, to which no one is entitled - ordination is a privilage, not a right. As far as fornication - that is a sin and everyone has the ability to sin as much as they choose. In your post, you reference “rights” and a denial of “personhood” of women and gays.

I don't see how welcoming more people into the Church will result in a smaller Church. I couldn't imagine that a Catholic would leave the faith because some Anglicans became Catholic. There has been no compromise on matters of faith or morals, so in effect nothing has changed other then some of us will have another place we can receive the sacraments, and some (former) Anglicans will have the fullness of the faith.

The Traditional Anglican Communion <em>requested</em> full union with Rome two years ago (cf http://www.virtueonline.org/portal/modules/news/article.php?storyid=8855). The announced Apostolic Constitution is the Church's response to that request, not a "fishing expedition."
