The Roman Catholic bishops of England and Wales have warned the Church of England that if it approves of women bishops it will not only make difficulties for ecumenical cooperation but also take an "intolerable" risk of destabilizing both the Church of England and the whole Anglican Communion

The Roman Catholic bishops of England and Wales have warned the Church of England that if it approves of women bishops it will not only make difficulties for ecumenical cooperation but also take an "intolerable" risk of destabilizing both the Church of England and the whole Anglican Communion.
The Church of England decided in 1992 to allow the ordination of women to the priesthood, and its first women priests were ordained in 1994. It is now considering whether to allow women to become bishops, with a debate expected at its general synod in February. Following that debate, draft legislation to allow women bishops will be drawn up and presented to the synod. The chief sticking point is how the Church of England will accommodate those members who do not recognize women priests and who rely on the "flying bishops" that have been appointed to look after those parishes that will not accept women priests.
