A Prayer for the Anglican Communion
Like a lot of Catholic bloggers and blog-readers, I've indulged in a certain amount of scoffing and I-told-you-so-ing over the past few days as the Episcopal General Convention pursued its typically unwise ways. Much of this came at the expense of the new Presiding Bishop's inaugural homily, and you can read some of it in this thread at Open Book, which includes a link to the homily itself.
We—I—have been uncharitable. Her theology may be as erroneous as is rumored, but this homily is excellent, especially if read without suspicion. The day is almost over, and it finally occurred to me to invoke the intercession of Sts. John Fisher and Thomas More, whose memorial it is today, and who happen to be two of my favorite saints. Saint John Fisher, Saint Thomas More, please pray for all souls in the Anglican Communion, and for the return of that unity in faith the breaking of which took your lives.
