Cardinal William Levada, head of the Vatican’s doctrinal congregation, also linked the issue of corporate unity for the Traditional Anglican Communion to larger issues within the Anglican Communion. “The situation within the Anglican Communion in general has become markedly more complex,” Cardinal Levada said in a letter to Archbishop John Hepworth of Blackwood, Australia, primate of the Traditional Anglican Communion. “As soon as the congregation is in a position to respond more definitely concerning the proposals you have sent, we will inform you.” Last October, Traditional Anglican Communion bishops from around the world met in plenary session in Portsmouth, England, and signed a letter “seeking full, corporate, sacramental union” with the Holy See. The Traditional Anglican Communion, formed in 1990 as a worldwide body, represents so-called continuing Anglicans who left the Canterbury-led Anglican Communion over the ordination of women. It has been in informal talks with the Vatican since the early 1990s. While the Traditional Anglican Communion seeks unity with Rome, the much larger Anglican Communion headed by the archbishop of Canterbury is wrestling with issues such as the ordination of active homosexual bishops, blessing same-sex unions and, more recently, a Church of England decision to ordain women bishops. At least twice during the once-a- decade Lambeth Conference that began in July, Vatican officials have warned of the consequences some of the Anglican decisions have on Anglican-Catholic unity.
