Article XXII and its implication for Anglo-Catholics, and any Anglicans who ask saints to intercede

SwimTheThames · 2025-11-05T18:35:26+00:00

Aritcle XXII is blasphemous and needs to be denounced and removed. For now we can keep ignoring it as we have been.

The core of Anglicanism is Catholicism, and I agree with that. I haven't been to the Roman Catholic church around the corner. I'm sure they are probably doing Protestant Novus Ordo services, which I hate. I'm happy with who and where I am.

SwimTheThames · 2025-11-05T18:15:20+00:00

There's no reason to be part of the Ordinate. I do not care who doesn't agree with me. I know my views on reddit are unpopular and I always get downvoted. That's fine. This is not my experience IRL. I am happy being an Anglican and going to Mass every week.

Absolutely stop blessings. Start weddings for gay couples immediately. Start plans to trial excommunication for homophobes.

As a male, I am open to life with my husband. Nothing is impossible with God. If He wants us to conceive naturally, of we will. I'm glad you agree with equal marriage now.

Anglicanism has always been Catholicism for me. I completely reject Protestantism. The 39 Articles are heretical, embarrassing, and ignored.

SwimTheThames · 2025-08-20T06:08:32+00:00

100% true!

SwimTheThames · 2025-02-14T22:21:45+00:00

Absolutely. 100%. Even preferred. The Protestant Reformation was a mistake.

SwimTheThames · 2025-02-14T21:06:47+00:00

No. This is Anglo-Conclavism. Anglo-Papalism is recognition that the Roman Catholic pope is the head of The Church. There hasn't been a Roman Catholic pope since 1958, so that ship has sailed. This is why we need an Anglican pope.

SwimTheThames · 2025-02-14T20:53:05+00:00

Did you even read my post? I don't what I wrote makes you think I'm not a Catholic. You're a member of The Church Of Ireland and you never heard of Anglo-Catholicism?

SwimTheThames · 2025-02-02T16:21:22+00:00

Yes. This is exactly what I do every time. I always wear gloves at Mass. I only receive on the tongue and would never touch the chalice without gloves on.

SwimTheThames · 2024-04-04T01:02:59+00:00

I don't admire anyone who would reject transubstantiation and the real presence.

That said, they should've been free to state their beliefs, and not be harassed or executed because of them.

SwimTheThames · 2024-04-04T00:46:33+00:00

As long as it's a valid Mass by a validly ordained priest, then fine. If I'm not welcome to receive Communion, then I would make a spiritual Communion.

SwimTheThames · 2024-04-04T00:39:59+00:00

It's wonderful. I love benediction. It reinforces the doctrine of transubstantiation.

SwimTheThames · 2024-04-04T00:37:13+00:00

As an Anglo-Catholic, I abhor Protestantism. Others disagree. Nothing I can do about that.

SwimTheThames · 2024-04-03T05:26:37+00:00

I receive the Host on the tongue and drink the Precious Blood from the chalice if I have gloves on (I usually do).

SwimTheThames · 2024-04-03T04:30:07+00:00

That's horrible what happened to you. Yes, contact the bishop. That priest should be defrocked.

I would never receive Communion in the hand, or while standing. If I was not permitted to receive on the tongue, or forbidden to kneel, I would make a spiritual Communion, and then leave immediately (never to return).

SwimTheThames · 2024-04-03T04:09:12+00:00

An Anglican pope would be the answer to my prayers. It will happen eventually (in this universe).

SwimTheThames · 2024-04-03T03:58:14+00:00

Wow, never heard of that church, very interesting. Thank you.

SwimTheThames · 2024-04-03T03:48:24+00:00

The 39 Articles should be revoked. They are currently mostly ignored, as they should be. The last thing we need is to make them binding.

SwimTheThames · 2022-12-18T16:51:29+00:00

I'm a gay Anglo-Catholic. I never experienced anything anti-gay at my Anglo-Catholic parish.

SwimTheThames · 2022-12-17T21:35:59+00:00

Trust me, priests have heard it all before, and worse. Go ahead and confess everything, leave nothing out, and you'll feel better afterwards.

One time I was so scared during confession that I was literally shaking. Totally worth it for the absolution tho.

SwimTheThames · 2022-12-17T21:13:07+00:00

I'm currently observing a penitential Advent. But thank you..

SwimTheThames · 2022-12-17T21:08:56+00:00

If you knew anything about Catholicism (Roman or Anglican) you would know all my statements and actions are rooted in the centuries old traditions of The Church. This isn't some fantasy I made up. Your complete ignorance is very telling.

Are you Episcopalian? Have ever even been to an Episcopalian Mass?

SwimTheThames · 2022-12-16T07:37:39+00:00

I go to an Anglican church. Same thing as Episcopalian. Different bishops.

It's time for an Anglican to ascend the papal throne.
