What the <I>Times</I> is talking about seems to be an extension of several reports of the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission which argued for a role for the Pope as <I>primus inter pares</I>, which, incidentally is the role that the Bishop of Rome traditionally played prior to the expansion of Papal power. That said, these reports are written by groups whose job it is to ignore differences or at least put them in the best possible light--their recommendations are just that, and one could imagine any reunion between Rome and Canterbury coming at about the same time the Pope decides married clergy and female priests are OK in his book--which pretty well means it ain't going to happen. Not to mention that outside of these ecumenical commissions, there are enough Anglicans that have issues with RC doctrine and enough RCs that want nothing to do with parts of Anglicanism that you can rest assured there's no chance for reunion between Rome and mainstream Anglicans.<BR/><BR/>That said, there's a huge possibility that there could be some union achieved between the Anglo-Catholic "Traditional Anglican Communion" and Rome...but that's a horse of a different color.Jody Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14073787540447454650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-24846554856252500852007-02-19T09:30:00.000-05:002007-02-19T09:30:00.000-05:00Well, Packer may not go quite that far, but make n...Well, Packer may not go quite that far, but make no mistake, Packer is something of an ecumenist, and was rebuked publicly by Dr. Robert Godfrey for his part in "ECT" in a plenary session of the national meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society in November of 1998. I was there and heard it myself.<BR/><BR/>DTKdtkinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08517142528948228472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-89477874295413463622007-02-19T09:08:00.000-05:002007-02-19T09:08:00.000-05:00I highly doubt Reformed Anglicans like J.I.
