The chairperson of the governors of the Anglican Centre in Rome, Bishop Stephen Platten, has invited the Roman Catholic Church to use its authority in a more collegial way, and to allow more freedom of expression in theological dialogue.
'Catholics says Anglicans do not have a clear enough structure on authority, and I agree that there are areas it ought to be better. But I also believe the Catholic Church should exercise its authority in a much more collegial way,' Platten, the Anglican bishop of Wakefield in England, told Ecumenical News International on October 21. "Many Anglicans would be pleased to have a central figure - just like the Pope -- in the church, but they want its role to be more collegial also.'
