It should be noted that of the three dioceses (out of 105) considering realignment, that Pittsburgh is the only one that will ordain women. In fact, the diocese is the only member of "The Common Cause" group that will do so."In a statement released on Aug 12, the Rt Rev Jack Iker stated “there is no proposal under consideration, either publicly or privately, for the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth to become part of the Roman Catholic Church.” Speculation that Fort Worth, one of two American dioceses that does not ordain women, was Rome-ward bound arose after a memorandum detailing the meeting of four senior Fort Worth clergy and the Roman Catholic bishop of Fort Worth was released over the weekend."
