[Times Online] 22 Nov 2007--The Pope will discuss how to deal with the increasing numbers of requests from disaffected Anglicans to join the Roman Catholic Church at a meeting with cardinals from around the world tomorrow.
Pope Benedict XVI, who is making the reunification of Christendom a goal of his pontificate, is in talks with at least three US Episcopal bishops about their reception into the Catholic church. He has also been approached by an entire breakaway group of traditionalist Anglicans about admitting them to his Church.
The meeting in Rome comes on the eve of the consistory to create a tranche of new cardinals and as Anglicans in Canada this evening announced they are to seek sanctuary in new "safe haven" for traditionalists set up under the leadership of the Primate of the Southern Cone, Archbishop Gregory Venables.
Up to 20 parishes in the Anglican Network in Canada, headed by Bishop Donald Harvey, are to desert the leadership of the Anglican Church of Canada and place themselves under the oversight of Archbishop Venables instead.
