From The London Times-
The Pope is to meet the Archbishop of Canterbury this month, to ease controversy over the Vatican’s recent move to make it easier for disenchanted Anglicans to convert to Roman Catholicism in groups as well as individually.
Today Pope Benedict XVI moved to reassure Anglicans and Protestants that he remained committed to ecumenical dialogue and “full and visible” Christian Unity. Dr Rowan Williams is due to visit Rome on November 20, and the Vatican said that the Pope would meet him the following day.
Dr Williams is coming to Rome to take part in celebrations marking the 100th anniversary of the birth of Cardinal Johannes Willebrands of the Netherlands, a pioneer of ecumenical dialogue, who died three years ago.
Last week the Holy See said that its opening to Anglicans was a response to “numerous requests to the Holy See from groups of Anglican clergy and faithful in various parts of the world who want to enter into full and visible communion.”
