That's what I mean when I say that Pope Benedict has made a way for them to return to "THEIR" Church--their Church is our Church. No matter how schismatic they have become, as long as they have a valid baptism, which they do, they are a part of the Roman Catholic Church, but not in full communion. This can be said of any "ecclesial communion" or "denomination" that has a "valid" baptism. <br />Now as it concerns the Orthodox Churches, we can rightly call them Churches, not ecclesial communions, as they have preserved the validity of the Sacrament of Holy Orders, i.e. bishop,priest and deacon; and preserved orthodox doctrine. Yet they are in schism with the True Church, meaning the one led by the Holy Father, the pope, but they have not melted down, like so many of the Protestant Communions which eliminated all of the sacraments except two, Baptism and Holy Communion. Unfortunately for them, you need a valid priesthood for Holy Communion, thus they only have one sacrament, Holy Baptism.Fr. Allan J.

The rest are either schismatic branches of the true church or new concoctions that are called "denominational or non-denominational." So, in a sense, what Pope Benedict is doing by allowing Anglicans to return to the full communion of THEIR Church, meaning the Roman Catholic Church, is an act of kindness, of course those who return to the full communion of THEIR Church, have to accept what the Church teaches in the area of faith, morals and canon law, not to mention the primacy of the Pope.Fr.
