Thank you for a most civil reply. If true, that is good news as no faith group should be trotted out as proxies to take the blows really intended for others within your own church.  Marty, as an American (I am too, but an Anglophile familiar with the UK) you many be unaware of certain tensions stoked by trad RC  commentary in UK publications. The UK Catholic Herald (the trad answer to The Tablet in the UK) has certain columnists who regularly find reasons to attack the C of E or particular clergy within.. The comment thread there is often poisonous. Damian Thompson a columnist-author, and self-styled trad RC apologist who has worked at several publications bounces between backhanded semi-praise for Anglicanism and condescending mockery. He and the others I allude to certainly think (and write) about us.
