Vatican Statement on Catholic-Anglican Dialogue

"Work Towards ... a Common Statement of Faith Would Have to Be Put on Hold"
VATICAN CITY, DEC. 2, 2003 (Zenit) - Here is a statement on the future activity of the Catholic-Anglican dialogue, issued today by the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity.
______________________________
On Tuesday, November 25, 2003, Cardinal Walter Kasper, President of the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of Christian Unity, met with the Reverend Canon John L. Peterson, Secretary General of the Anglican Consultative Council, at the offices of the Pontifical Council.
At the meeting the future of Anglican-Roman Catholic dialogue was discussed, especially in the light of recent developments within the life of the Anglican Communion.
As a result of the conversation, it was decided that the next plenary session of the International Anglican-Roman Catholic Commission for Unity and Mission (IARCCUM) and its work towards the publication and reception of a Common Statement of Faith would have to be put on hold in the light of ecclesiological concerns raised as a consequence of these events. At the same time, the Anglican Communion and the Catholic Church remain committed to continuing their dialogue, and agree that the work of the sub-committees of the Commission would proceed.
In a separate development, Cardinal Kasper has welcomed the request of His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, that an appropriate means be found to reflect jointly upon the ecclesiological issues raised by recent developments within the Anglican Communion in the light of the relevant Agreed Statements of ARCIC. An ad hoc sub-commission of IARCCUM will soon be established to undertake this task.
The Cardinal and the Secretary General agreed that the current work of the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC) should proceed until the completion of the current phase in 2004, after which attention will be given to planning the future agenda and next phase of the theological dialogue.
ARCIC, which began its work in 1970, is the main instrument of theological dialogue between the Anglican Communion and the Catholic Church, whereas IARCCUM, which was established in 2001, is an episcopally led body aimed at fostering practical initiatives that would give expression to the degree of faith shared by Anglicans and Catholics.
