Catholics & Anglicans decide maybe they better play nice together..
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8371807.stm
Is this real reconciliation, or just Cattlicks looking to "adopt" the
Anglicans too bigoted to deal with female or gay shamans? From a
buisness viewpoint, it'd be a way to prop up their sagging `market
share'...

This attempt to reunite the CoE and RCC reminds of the movie "Other
People's Money" when Danny DeVito performs a hostile takeover of a
COAX cable company in order to dismantle it for whatever valuable
assets he can sell off, and a company official argues that the
company's market performance has been rising.
DeVito uses a buggywhip in the advent of automobiles analogy to
explain that the COAX cable market is shrinking and the worst possible
long term business position is to have an increasing market share of a
shrinking industry.
Maybe catholics and protestants will be the buggywhips of the 21st
century.

The CofE is dead but doesn't know it and won't lay down.
The Catlicks are looking to eventually mop up the residue but, in the first
instance, to welcome the bigots.
They'll find a 'home from home' in the Catlick Crutch.

What non-UKians may not know is that the Church of England comes in two main
forms, the "High church" in which Catholics would feel quite at home and the
"Low church" which would be much more to a Protestants liking. It is mainly
the high church priests and members who are looking towards the Catholic
church. For them little would change, but for the Catholic church members
there would be a bit of a surprise as married CofE priests who convert would
remain married, demonstrating that the main objection to married priests in
the Catholic church is social and historical rather than theological.
