Three from the BBC

• Gafcon results (more). An Anglican is somebody whose bishop is invited to Lambeth (even though ++Cantuar’s not a Pope; these people already are independent); if this group doesn’t go then it wouldn’t be Anglican any more?
• What the Anglican row is all about. Not bad coverage. Just like the SSPX and the rest of Western Catholic traditionalism are not about Latin this is not about gays and women; the Controversial Issues™ about them are symptoms. The key is universal doctrine and enforcing it; of course the Catholic answer is an infallible church. Even a conservative Protestantism will collapse under its inherent contradictions like Communism did.
• Russian revival. Очень хорошо (marvellous). Word from a friend whose wife is from Minsk (and is there now) is that Belarus’ natural reunion with Russia is slowly under way; now they’re working on having the same money again. Today the Orthodox Church everywhere is commemorating national saints and so the Russians are theirs.
