I think this article is a little too ambiguous and very misleading. As I understand it, Anglicans are those who are in Communion with the Archbishop of Canterbury. These folks are their own traditionalist denomination. It is wonderful when anyone comes home to Mother Church, but I do think that if one were to say that Anglicans were swimming the Tiber the audience would be led to believe that some of the 7million member Anglican Communion were really coming over. At least that was the initial conclusion of this member of the audience. It would be less ambiguous were the title to say, "Tradional Anglican Communion seeks Union with Rome."

Nitpicking. These people were born and raised Anglican, became dissatisfied with the Anglican Communion and in time have come to Rome.

Praised be Jesus Christ.
