Thanks fr. Brian! We thought we had been sold to the Jesuits and were contemplating what we would all look like in black!

Dear Sister,

Ahem...if you'll notice, I edited Abp Di Noia's original e-mail, which said only "friars" with a parenthetical (and other OPs -- Ed.) I'm "Ed" in this case! And since "other OPs" would indeed include our beloved Nuns, I didn't, wouldn't, couldn't forget all of you.

Fraternally in St Dominic,

Dear Sisters,

Thank you for posting this wonderfully edifying notice. I was given the news of Father Di Noia's prayer request by one of your Nuns some months back. When I saw now Archbishop Di Noia's picture from Tuesday's press conference -- what's he doing there, I thought -- I began to suspect that this was the big secret intention.

Please

Dear Sisters, I did say that it was a "feeling" and not necessarily the case. I do understand that the offer was made in response to Anglicans who have been petitioning the Vatican for such an accomodation. Nevertheless, it has raised uncomfortable feelings among Anglicans/Episcopalians and I am only acknowledging that.

Sisters, would it be possible to provide the updated Litany for download, or copy and paste?

Barbara, I'm afraid you've been reading too much of the NY Times!
This isn't about taking advantage but about the Church offering to Anglicans who have been seeking to come into the Church a way from them to come into Full Communion and retain their particular spiritual heritage and tradition. These talks have been going on for years.

Although I am Roman Catholic, I do understand the feelings of the Anglican/Episcopalian religious. At a certain level, it can feel like the Roman Church is taking advantage of divisions in the Anglican Communion to poach. I am not saying that is the case, I am only saying that it can FEEL that way. Similarly, there is a similar feeling in the Roman Church where Protestant evangelists have made

I find it strange that Episcopalians are getting worked up over this - if they want to stay in their own church, no one's forcing them to convert, though of course we always pray for reunification.

Anyway, sisters, great work on the prayers, and this story is now posted on the American Papist blog as well: http://www.americanpapist.com/2009/10/

Thank you for the invitation, Sisters, but much as you are quite happy where God called you to work in the Roman Catholic Church, I am quite happy where God has called me to work in The Episcopal Church.

May God bless you and keep you and shine Her face upon you.

Dear Sisters,

In addition to my previous post, I would gladly join the Catholic Church when the Church recognises that not only does God call both men and women to the religious life, but God also calls both men and women to office and vocation of a priest.

Dear Sisters

I am an Anglican and a fellow-religious. I know that what binds us together as Christians under our Lord is far more important than what has divided us in the past. I love that we can meet and share in the love of Christ the warmth of our joy in God together.

However, I'm also a very happy Anglican and value the particular treasures of our Church and the
