Churches' Secret Talks to Stop Gay Surge


The Church of England has refused to deny that its most senior bishops held secret discussions with their Vatican counterparts this weekend in an historic union to topple the controversial Anglican push to admit gay unions and the ordination of women bishops.

In an unprecedented turn of events, a handful of Pope Benedict XVI's most trusted advisers are believed to have met senior Anglican Bishops in York over the weekend to build closer inter-church ties - and to stymie the liberalisation of significant traditions.

The secret talks, held just days before Pope Benedict leaves Rome for Australia for World Youth Day, highlights the dramatic choices faced by both churches in an increasingly secular and liberal western environment.


Yes, the church is going down in flames. Divide an destroy.

How exactly is it going down in flames? And even if it is, I don't think society really has the right to point the finger, look at its' progress.

I find this incredibly funny given the fact that you're talking about the Anglican Church. Were you trying to be ironic?

Agreed, because as much as anyone else is concerned about this situation, the Anglican Church isn't even much of a Church with it's loose ties to scripture much less authoritative stance toward interpretation, or lack thereof.  Pretty soon we'll hear rumors that you even have a heart, Moridin.

Thing is, for centuries, I don't think the church has been with God.
