Any Bets Cardinal Mahony Will Attend the Ordination/Instalation & Extend a Warm Welcome As Well

Meanwhile, I suspect we will see a final split between the "conservative" (read orthodox) faction & the now totally abandoned any pretense of being Christian Anglican Communion. I predict we will see more than a few parishes & even a diocese or 2 decide to follow the Anglican Church in America of the Traditional Anglican Communion & ask for entry into the Catholic Church under Anglicanorum coetibus.

As for the Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams's statement, wimpy, cowardly, cop-out are just a few of the words that come to mind. Of course it raises serious questions, serious questions that because of your failure in leadership are being raisd in the 1st place.

I am honestly surprized that I haven't read about Cardinal Mahony congratulating her. Maybe he is just waiting for the final formal approval. But you can be sure he will eventually welcome her warmly. & make excuses for doing so when confronted about how doing so is condoning homosexual sin in contradiction to 2000yrs of Catholic teaching.

Los Angeles Episcopalians elect lesbian bishop

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Los Angeles Episcopalians elected an openly lesbian bishop late Saturday, the denomination's news service reported.
The Rev. Mary Douglas Glasspool, 55, will become the first openly gay bishop in the Episcopal Church since Gene Robinson took office in New Hampshire in 2004, if she is formally approved.
Conservative factions in the Anglican Communion -- a 77-million member denomination worldwide, with the Episcopal Church as its U.S. branch -- have opposed the ordination of gay bishops.
The archbishop of Canterbury, the head of the Anglican Communion, issued a statement Saturday saying that Glasspool's election "raises very serious questions not just for the Episcopal Church and its place in the Anglican Communion, but for the Communion as a whole," according to the Episcopal Church's Web site.
Glasspool's election is the first choice of an openly gay bishop since the church ended an agreement designed to keep the worldwide Anglican Communion from tearing itself apart. In the wake of the Robinson controversy, Episcopalians called a temporary halt to appointing any more openly gay bishops, to give the church time to hammer out a compromise. They voted this summer not to renew the ban.
