An Anglican ordination, scheduled to take place today in a Roman Catholic Church in a suburb of Melbourne, Australia, was moved at short notice to a Protestant Church, because the Vatican refused to allow women to be ordained in a Catholic building, according to Ecumenical News International (ENI).
Pope Benedict XVI eased the process for Anglicans to convert to Catholicism several weeks ago; however, the Catholic Church does not allow women to be clergy, although the Anglican Church does.
For Anglicans to allow women to be clergy is just one of the ongoing conflicts existing between Catholics and Anglicans. Anglicans also allow married priests and openly gay priests to be clergy, while the Catholic Church does not.
