From Pittsburgh-
Some other interested parishes are from the new 100,000-member Anglican Church in North America, comprised primarily of parishes that broke from the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church of Canada in recent years. Still others are from parishes of Anglican heritage that belong to smaller splinter groups or to no larger body at all.
Cardinal Wuerl is a good friend of Archbishop Robert Duncan of the Anglican Church in North America, who is on record that he doesn’t expect many parishes in his new church to be interested in converting to Catholicism. Many of them identify with the evangelical or charismatic traditions rather than Catholicism. And the ACNA bishop for Anglo-Catholics in that body has said that he’s not interested because of differences with the Catholic Church over papal authority and other doctrinal issues.
Nevertheless, Cardinal Wuerl said that he has had some inquiries from the Pittsburgh area. He was not at liberty to elaborate, he said.
