It is hard to figure what Francis is doing or attempting to accomplish. My sources say he doesn't want the Anglican "communion" to disintegrate any further between UK, American and Canadian churches, on the one side, and Gafcon (predominately African) churches, on the other. He supports the Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury/Justin Welby's attempt to keep the different Anglican bodies together, some of which ordain women bishops, women priests, allow same sex marriage between clerics, etc. while other don't. These fractions are so divided that their own bishops won't even celebrate the Eucharist together. In the US, Anglican/Episcopal churches are suing each other for the control of properties. So poor Francis walks a fine ecumenical line (as does Welby, who, for example, didn't pair Anglian women bishops with Catholic bishops in a ceremony a few months back when the pope commissioned pairs of Catholic and Anglican bishops to work and pray together in their home countries). Go figure!
