Rome eases way for Anglicans to join to be in communion

IN THE LIGHT OF THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF POPE BENEDICT XVI. THIS WEEK AND THE CONFUSION IT SEEMS TO HAVE SPREAD I CAN ONLY SAY THAT THE OPTION TO BE IN UNION WITH THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH AND TO BE ANGLICAN-CATHOLIC AT THE SAME TIME IS NOTHING NEW AT ALL AND IN FACT, OUR BISHOP RALPH NAPIERSKI HAS GONE LONG DOWN THAT ROUTE, AND SO HE HAD OFFERED US HIS AFFILIATION THAT ENABLES US TO STAY IN OUR ANGLICAN-CATHOLIC TRADITION BUT AT THE SAME TIME IN UNION WITH THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH AND WE CAN PARTICIPATE ALSO IN THE HOLY EUCHARIST IN ANY ROMAN-CATHOLIC CHURCH. THE ORDER OF THE HOLY ROSE DOES NOT ACCEPT WOMEN PRIESTS OR BISHOPS AS THIS IS AGAINST THE APOSTOLIC SUCCESSION BUT OUR CLERGY AND BISHOPS CAN SERVE GOD IN VOLUNTARY CELIBACY OR IN HOLY MATRIMONY AND ARE EITHER SINGLE/DIVORCED, OR MARRIED. THE QUESTION IS, WHY SO MANY ANGLICAN/CATHOLIC PRIESTS AND BISHOPS DID NOT GO DOWN THAT PATH SO FAR AND EVEN SEEM TO BE SURPRISED BY THIS OPTION.

The Order of the Holy Rose is an Anglican-Catholic order in affiliation with Bishop Ralph Napierski already in union with the RCC. We are devoted to the path of Jesus Christ, God's beloved Holy Rose, bud and blossom. Our bishops, clergy, and laity serve God in voluntary celibacy or in holy matrimony. Priesthood is only available to men for the simple reason that Christ was a man and He entrusted the male apostles with this most holy sacrament in His memory. Therefore, the blessings can only be done by the priests.
Women have a whole range of roles within Christ's church, and Bishop Ralph is ordaining women as deaconesses as was the custom in the early church, too, as women are invaluable in many ways for the life in a holy community. Mary Magdalene was the advocate for the family as the nucleus of creation and not of a twisted version of heresy, which does her greatly injustice. She was obedient to God and to Jesus and she served God together with Christ in utmost humility, always painfully aware of her sins that she would find within herself the deeper she journeyed. And she was given the gift of repentance to teach others about Jesus path of forgiveness. God chose her to be a sinner for the sake of leading other sinners out of their darkness into the Infinite light of Jesus Christ.

May the Infinite Light of God shine brightly upon you, keep and protect you from all evil, harm and anxiety and fill your very heart and soul with Jesus' lovingkindness and peace. God bless you!
