  Geoffrey Studdert-Kennedy, the charismatic military chaplain universally known as Woodbine Willie, was one of those who tried to make sense of this.

• Apostolic Constitution: married ex-Anglican bishops may keep insignia of episcopal office

  
  TitusOneNine — Authority: 590
  I’m going to analyse the Constitution in detail later, but let me draw your attention to an intriguing detail which demonstrates just how far Rome is prepared to go to make special provisions for ex-Anglicans.

  [On the Apostolic Constitution welcoming Anglicans who want to join Rome] I think should be judged quite simply as what it is – a generous response by the Holy Father to these groups of Anglicans who’ve been knocking at the door, particularly of the Holy Office, over these past years. Someone said to me “this ...

  TitusOneNine — Authority: 590
  The leadership of the Catholic Church doesnt seem to be afraid to stand up for important moral issues.
