Question
As an Episcopalian, how do I convert to Roman Catholicism?

It seems like a read an article a few months back about the Pope welcoming Episcopalians into the RCC.  Do you know anything about this?  If so, how does it work?  

Thank you.

Answer
What you are referring to pertains to the New Order sect.  Traditional Catholics do not consider that group to be truly Catholic.  As an Episcopalian, you need to be instructed in the traditional catechism and then make an Abjuration of Heresy in the external forum.  For further information, contact a tradition priest.  There is a geographical listing at www.traditio.com/nat.htm.
