Upon hearing the news that Pope Benedict would be allowing disaffected churches in the Anglican Communion to return to Rome while retaining their traditional liturgies and disciplines, I thought briefly about doing a post on the subject. Thankfully, I didn’t have to, because so many mainstream media pundits have done such a great job of very intelligently expressing their own highly original and clearly very carefully thought-out opinions. So, here is a compendium of these opinions, with a special thanks to Maureen Dowd:
