This article doesn't seem charitable to the sisters who have remained Anglican. They all need prayers. Blog posts like this don't help.

I always feel sad when I read articles like this even when the CMRI's lost so many. As we rejoice, it seems almost observe knowing their is a break/split and much suffering. My prayers are with all.

I meant obsence. Sorry about that.

My opinion is that the Church of England has lost its way completely and I doubt it will survive in the very long term.  I am far from being alone in thinking this..  There is so much disagreement about fundamentals and no leadership.   So I am not surprised that these sisters have been received into the Catholic Church.  It is sad for this individual community but it's only a small part of the much bigger picture.

When only part of a community comes back into communion it is hard on all involved so they really do need prayers.

 

The blog post does leaves something to be desired in the tone and style it uses but I can only hope the intention was good. Instead let us focus on the Sisters.
