Bishop David Waller, the Ordinary of the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham, has told The Catholic Herald that the appointment of a new Archbishop of Canterbury changes little in the relationship between the Church of England and the Catholic Church.
“In many respects this appointment changes very little: the Church of England already ordains women as bishops; it has a generally liberal theology and contains deep divisions within itself,” Bishop Waller said in an exclusive statement. “However, whilst the appointment changes little, it brings certain factors into greater focus and makes it harder for those within who are unhappy to ignore the situation in which they live.”
