"[3] And he spoke to them this parable, saying: [4] What man of you that hath an hundred sheep: and if he shall lose one of them, doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the desert, and go after that which was lost, until he find it? [5] And when he hath found it, lay it upon his shoulders, rejoicing:
[6] And coming home, call together his friends and neighbours, saying to them: Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost?"
I have come the conclusion that there is going to be a revolving door between Anglican and Catholic Churches that a few will pass through from time to time. As a conservative Episcopalian, who is married to a Catholic, I have considered passing through myself, but, honestly, I would be trading one set of problems for another. And, our old Victorian church is so much prettier than the Catholics modern down the road.

"And, our old Victorian church is so much prettier than the Catholics modern down the road."
The question is - was that coda a charming piece of self-mockery, or a disturbing insight into the anglican mindset?
Judging by the quality of Anonymous' posts passim, I fear it's the latter.
