The Sunday Telegraph carries the
news<http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/2254269/Anglican-bishops-in-secret-Vatican-summit.html>that
senior Church of England bishops have met the Congregation for the
Doctrine of the Faith to discuss the apocalyptic crisis in Anglicanism and
the prospect of converting to Roman Catholicism.

I'm glad that Jonathan Wynne-Jones has respected the anonymity of the
bishops in question. We at the Catholic
Herald<http://www.catholicherald.co.uk/>have known for some time about
these historic negotiations. I pray that they
succeed.

What one of the bishops has made clear to us is that they are worried that
the liberal English Catholic hierarchy will throw a spanner in the works.
Yet I infer from Jonathan's report that the most liberal of all the bishops,
Kieran Conry of Arundel and Brighton, is apparently prepared to countenance
Anglican converts retaining some elements of their tradition. Has he had his
arm twisted?
