Forward in Faith - Relations With The Roman Catholic Church

Relations With The Roman Catholic Church

In 2009, there were reports that Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, the Catholic Archbishop of Vienna, had been meeting with Forward in Faith chairman John Broadhurst, the Anglican Bishop of Fulham, at the suggestion of the Pope.

On 20 October 2009, in a document called "Anglicanorum Coetibus", the Holy See announced that it intended creating personal ordinariates for groups of former Anglicans within the Roman Catholic Church. The proposed ordinariates are expected to be similar to existing military ordinariates, in ways that are comparable to the current Opus Dei personal prelature.

In October 2010 Bishop Broadhurst announced his intention to join the Roman Catholic church, although he said he would not at that point resign as Chairman of Forward in Faith saying "it is not a Church of England organisation." He resigned from the post in November 2010, though, before being received into the Roman Catholic Church.

Famous quotes containing the words catholic church, relations with, relations, roman, catholic and/or church:

    It is time that the Protestant Church, the Church of the Son, should be one again with the Roman Catholic Church, the Church of the Father. It is time that man shall cease, first to live in the flesh, with joy, and then, unsatisfied, to renounce and to mortify the flesh.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Major [William] McKinley visited me. He is on a stumping tour.... I criticized the bloody-shirt course of the canvass. It seems to me to be bad “politics,” and of no use.... It is a stale issue. An increasing number of people are interested in good relations with the South.... Two ways are open to succeed in the South: 1. A division of the white voters. 2. Education of the ignorant. Bloody-shirt utterances prevent division.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    All social rules and all relations between individuals are eroded by a cash economy, avarice drags Pluto himself out of the bowels of the earth.
    Karl Marx (1818–1883)

    [Corneille] was inspired by Roman authors and Roman spirit, Racine with delicacy by the polished court of Louis XIV.
    Horace Walpole (1717–1797)

    Lord, have mercy on us.
    [Kyrie, eleison.]
    Missal, The. The Ordinary of the Mass.

    You know, some of these folks look as queer in church as a mule does in the front parlor.
    Howard Estabrook (1884–1978)
