“My decision has been made for positive reasons, to enter into the communion of the Roman Catholic Church, not simply to leave the Church of England.”

“We are not talking about the personal qualities of women. We are talking about the nature of the priesthood as a representative office.”

“I see the Pope as the focus of unity for the Universal Church.”

“The Church of England has... chosen to abandon the traditional path and create for itself a new sort of priesthood, unknown to the Catholic Church throughout the ages.”

“It's like a family. If your mother goes mad, you don't leave home.”
