Oh, I went on over to that Huffington Post article, Alison. Cardinal Law really looks like a MEAN so-and-so in that photograph.

ReplyDeleteMP, how does the ordinariate help? Benny's own rules prohibit the apostate Anglicans from becoming RCC bishops because they are generally married. Oh, wait, that only applies till the ladies die, with or without some assistance...
FWIW
