It isn't April 1st, is it?
Jun. 30th, 2008 02:29 pmRemember we were talking about Frankly Unfriendly Catholics and their rather undergraduate acronym? (Though my particular vices are more along the Affirming Laudianism line. Canonize Percy Dearmer now!)
Some "conservative" (see discussion below) evangelical Anglicans have founded a schismatic network called, wait for it, the Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans.
FOCA. Or possibly, Foca.
Oh dear.
Mind you, what really annoys me about this - apart from the fact that this makes schism more likely, which is saddening - is my suspicion that the 'Confessing' bit is intended as a reference to the Confessing Church. Rowan Williams, whether or not you like him, pretty clearly =/= Adolf Hitler, and self-consecrated martyrs are somewhat suspicious.
... Still, maybe in this I'm being unfair to them. I do hope so.
