I respond to Deacon Jonah when he writes:
I will not dissuade people from becoming Orthodox or Roman Catholic. Those traditions have their own problems, yes. No tradition is untouched by modernity’s claws or theological innovation. But what Rome and Orthodoxy currently offer, in a way Anglicanism does not, is a greater overall stability on key matters of orthodoxy and a stronger sense of Catholic identity.
Don’t get me wrong. I appreciate his substack and this heartfelt post . . .
But I cannot recommend joining the Church of Rome due to the dangerous power the papacy has over the whole Roman Catholic Church. And we got an awful taste of that power abused under Pope Francis. We found out the hard way that Rome is not stable. The way the RCC is structured is very different and more dangerous than Orthodoxy or Anglicanism or Protestant churches.
Apologies that my voice was not at its best.
