[Times Online] 31 Jul 2008--The Roman Catholic Church has finally ended all hope that Anglican priestly orders will ever be recognised as valid.
In an address to the Lambeth Conference of 670 Anglican bishops from around the world, the cardinal who heads the Council for Christian Unity said the dialogue between Anglicans and Catholics would be irrevocably "changed" as a result of the ordination of women and the recent vote to go ahead with consecrating women bishops.
Cardinal Walter Kasper also reiterated the Vatican's stance that homosexuality is a "disordered" condition.
In a well-attended closed session at the conference at the University of Kent University, Canterbury, Cardinal Kasper said relations between the two churches are now deeply compromised. He urged bishops to consider their shared inheritance, which he said was "worthy of being consulted and protected."
