Rome Fishes In Anglican Pond

More Info: The Roman Catholic Church was going to extraordinary lengths to make it easy for disenchanted Anglicans to convert to Catholicism. They could join the Roman Catholic Church as full members, but hang on to many of their Anglican traditions and practices - and indeed preserve much of their “Anglican identity”. In the past Anglicans have converted (although many have and are moving in the opposite direction), but it’s been on a case-by-case basis. The creation of a special section of the Roman Catholic Church - backed up by church law - especially for Anglicans all around the world is unprecedented.

Question: What do you make of Rome reaching out to Anglicans?
