Converting bishops would show huge humility

Any of the Church of England priests who are married can convert to Catholicism and take orders. However, married bishops cannot. The fact that certain Church of England bishops would lead their flocks to communion with the Catholic Church, knowing that they cannot remain bishops, is a HUGE example of pious humility.

Think of how these bishops would "follow Christ" to the Catholic church, bringing their flocks, and then having to lay down their apostolate as bishops, and become priests again, do so with gladness and in service of God. That would be a remarkable statement and a role model for the century, really. Why do I say that? Because it is exactly an antidote to the heretical grasping of the priesthood by those who are not able to be priests (the so called "women" priests) who do so just for the "power" and because it's "their right." What an impressive counter demonstration of truly living one's vocation. It is exactly what I was blogging about a few days ago when I pointed out that many of the holiest saints fled the responsibility of being bishop (or even pope) when it was repeatedly offered to them. To keep one's eyes on Christ, and on the flock, regardless of where one is in the so-called "power hierarchy" would be a remarkable demonstration and role modeling for all Christians, in truth.

Prayers for those and their flock who are exploring this journey "back home" "to Rome."
