SEATTLE May 16, 2005 — A group of Roman Catholic and Anglican leaders studying the role of Mary, the mother of Jesus, said Monday that after years of talks they have agreed that Catholic teachings on the Immaculate Conception and the Assumption of Mary into heaven are consistent with Anglican interpretations of the Bible.
This is certainly important, but coming together to agree on the Virgin Mary is a long way from other more important issues (women clergy, gay bishops, the primacy of the papacy, etc.).
It's like the Israelis and the Palestinians. There can be all this talk of prisoner releases and removal of settlements, but it's just beating around the bush when the main issue is Jerusalem. (Only analogy I could think of.)
