text: From the far side of the Tiber, and closer to the land of Cranmer and C.S. Lewis I found a lot to ponder in Fr. Reese's essay. Without a hint of schadenfreude, I'd note that divided membership attributes might easily fit your church, as much as any mainline Protestant church. That said by one who has no reason to view the fever swamp of traditionalist RC blogs, where I hear third hand they are praying for the early death of someone whom in Christian charity I will not name.
  
  The ecumenism of the foxhole has given way to the ecumenism of the indifferent society. No one, except the tiny minority on religious blogs, frets over the issues driving the events of the 16th century. Most in the West can't define the words "grace", "sacrament" or "justification" and wouldn't know an indulgence unless it was describing a new sugary dessert. They are much more interested in one true bargain in high tech devices and not "one true church". Like it or not, we need to get along where we can.
