Wise words...

"We cannot fix on a single point, cannot attempt to review every decision, and expect that every action and every decision made by members of the church in China are always perfect in every moment and every situation," Tong said. "If each error is isolated and becomes a reason for condemnation without appeal, who can be saved? It is in the long run that you see whether a priest or bishop has a good intention in his heart."

Cardinal Tong -- as quoted by John Allen (Nathional Catholic Reporter) -- was  making a reference about those who have been ordained Roman-Catholic priests or bishops without the proper fiat from the Vatican. 

However, the more I read his words, the more pertinent seem to be to our own disputes if we were to substitute "of the church in China by "of the Anglican Church"...

That's the kind of person that we need to be the next Archbishop of Canterbury. May God help us in our hour of need!
