Cutting Lambeth out altogether

According to the Wikileaks cables "the pope's offer" was interpreted by the British ambassador to the Holy See as a potential source of tension between Canterbury and Rome.

The pope's move was bold, even if riots and the revival of punitive laws has yet to transpire.  How people who have premised their Anglican identity on dissension from the polity of Anglicanism can be expected to suddenly discover the charism of obedience is a little beyond my comprehension.  If Rome was the answer they were looking for all along, why didn't they take that jump sooner?

Anyway, amid the smoke and fury of bishops taking the plunge, I saw this and immediately thought of Anglicanorum Coetibus.
