The Vatican's highest office is meeting secretly with Anglican bishops. Of course, it is not so secret if the news is posted all over the Web. The bishops leaked the news to an English paper. The names are not being divulged, but people will figure that out soon enough.
The event implies that the Roman Catholic Church will take in a group of Episcopalians, including their bishops. The meeting could be a way to frighten the Archdruid of Canterbury into being a little more conservative, but matters have gone beyond the tipping point already.
Long ago, Gaylin Schmeling's professor, Anglican Charles Caldwell expressed his hope for reunion with Rome. That is buried in the bosom of most high church Anglicans. I will have to dig up my funny quote on the topic. Rome is increasingly successful in seducing Protestants into this reunion. The Protestants are equally adept at driving away their own ministers and members.
