The Vatican yesterday criticised the Church of England's decision to press
ahead with the ordination of women bishops, saying it presented a "further
obstacle" for reconciliation between Canterbury and Rome.
A statement released through the Vatican Council for the Promotion of
Christian Unity said it had "regretfully" learned of the historic vote,
which took place on Monday after a seven-hour debate.
It read: "Such a decision signifies a breaking away from the apostolic
tradition maintained by all of the churches since the first millennium, and
is a further obstacle for reconciliation between the Catholic church and the
Church of England.
"This decision will have consequences on the future of dialogue, which had
up until now born fruit." --- |

Why yes, of course ;)
If I were a Christian, I would have to be Catholic, and not only
because of these issues.
