This site is dedicated to the traditional Anglican expression of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ. We profess the orthodox Christian Faith enshrined in the three great Creeds and the Seven Ecumenical Councils of the ancient undivided Church. We celebrate the Seven Sacraments of the historic Church. We cherish and continue the Catholic Revival inaugurated by the Tractarian or Oxford Movement. Not tepid centrist Anglicanism.

The Ongoing Collapse of the Church of England
The attempt to house two completely different religions in one ecclesial institution was never practicable and has been proven once more to be utterly futile....
Christian orthodoxy has never been in a process of 'reception' concerning the ordination of women and is unprepared to admit that the universal Church has erred or been misguided about something as important to the Gospel as the sacramental essence of the Church and her Apostolic Ministry instituted by Jesus Christ.
For Traditional Anglicans, as for the Patriarchates of East and West, the maleness of Holy Orders is a settled issue because it is a dogmatic truth revealed by God in Scripture and Tradition. Women's ordination, for this reason, has been a church-dividing issue and is not a second-tier concern or problem.

The purported ordination of women and the blessing of purported marriages of persons of the same sex are hermeneutically inseparable: today we see that the creation of a new synthetic system of marriage is the direct result of the creation of the new synthetic priesthood. The Sacrament of Holy Orders and the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony remain forever inextricably tied together in the divine revelation. Those religious organisations which follow in the path of modernism believe themselves masters over the sacraments, and therefore masters over the created order sanctified by the sacraments, free by fiat to change what God has created, redeemed, and revealed. The Church of England has tragically followed this path.
Purported women's ordination and pseudogamy share the same erroneous interpretation of Holy Scripture, or biblical hermeneutic, a contemporary, culturally-conditioned, historical-critical revisionist approach to the Scriptures. Both are based on the same reading and interpretation of the Bible, as both undermine the basic anthropological revelation concerning the nature of God, Man, and the Church contained in the Word of God. Both doctrines are equally heresies of the Christological and anthropological order.
