Mouse was impressed by Rowan Williams' speech in Rome earlier in the week. Yes, it was done in Rowan's own way, couched in academic terms and with complex and subtle trains of thought. However, the central thrust was direct and hard hitting. For a full account of what he said, Mouse recommends Ruth Gledhill . Mouse will only add the following to the analysis already out there: 1) Riazat Butt in the...

The Archbishop of Canterbury has gone to Rome. Not over to Rome. Just a short visit to speak his mind. However, it seems to me his mind is tortuously flexible these days. He spoke at length when giving an address in Rome, as the guest of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity. The address was part of a symposium being held at the Gregorian University, to celebrate the centenary of the...

I guess I will comment more in detail in the speech that the Archbishop of Canterbury gave at the Gregorian Pontifical University . It is a rather long speech and is worth some detailed looks. I think Father at Standing On My Head has a good post that sort of gets to the core it thought. See Cracks in the Foundation . He says in part: The Archbishop defended women's ordination and argued that more...

The big battle was lost over 20 years ago, when Graham Leonard the Bishop of London lost the vote and the argument over Christ's will and left for Rome soon afterwards.
