Catholic letter to Anglicans

The US Catholic group CALL TO ACTION has written an open letter to people in the Anglican tradition stating that they are "disappointed with the Vatican's announcement of a streamlined process for Anglican conversion to Roman Catholicism for individuals and dioceses who do not support women's and LGBT equality." The CTA director, Jim FitzGerald continues:

"We have watched and supported your struggles over the years to welcome all God's people equally to ministerial leadership. You should stand proud.

"The majority of Catholics in the United States also hope for a day when we might be able to say that we, too, have heeded the gospel call for justice within our own church leadership. Studies show that 83% of U.S. Catholics believe that it is morally wrong to discriminate against homosexuals (Contemporary Catholic Trends Survey) and 61% of U.S. Catholics believe that women should be priests (National Catholic Reporter Survey)....

"We pray for a time when our church officials will also come to know the blessings that come from living, not as a divided community, but as one people united with God."

To put it mildly, I share CTA's disappointment.
