Rome waiting in the wings?

I know I have beaten this Gene Robinson debacle to death, but I find it so interesting. Monday's Virtuosity posting by David Virtue had some interesting predictions and assorted goodies about the upcoming October Anglican summits (the American traditionalists in Plano, Texas, and then the Primates with Archbishop Williams after). Here is a smattering:

The common wisdom now is that a separate orthodox province for biblically orthodox Episcopalians is the only way forward for the theologically and morally fraught Episcopal Church...

Either the orthodox will roll over and accept the inevitability that anything goes and that the Episcopal Church is now little more than a Unitarian body reciting the creed that no one believes in, while on occasion choosing to meet in a field with Sufi Rumi, or that those who do believe the message must now disassociate themselves from the moral and theological chaos and go their own way. There can be no more compromises.

Enter the Archbishop of Canterbury. The man looks like a Welsh goat herder with high church pantheist views that come under the umbrella of something called Affirming Catholicism. They are a tiny group in the Anglican communion, almost as small as the vociferous and vocal pansexualists.

They wield power out of all proportion to their real size. The three most notable Affirming Catholics are Rowan Williams, Frank Griswold (ECUSA) and Peter Carnley, Primate of Australia. Affirming Catholicism is also known as Progressive Christianity.

This group tries to play it down the middle by affirming some high church aspects to their worship, but fudge on moral and doctrinal issues in order to accommodate to the prevailing mood of the times. They are treated with real suspicion by biblically orthodox Anglicans who see them as loose on Scripture, and by Anglo-Catholics who see them
as faux high churchmen...

At the end of the day, Rowan Williams will be forced to face the untenable truth that he is no longer in control of the Anglican Communion, and what was once a communion is now a loosely knit federation.

Bishops, by reason of apostolic succession are still bishops whether they are in communion with Canterbury or not.

And I have been reliably informed that The Roman Catholic Church stands ready to receive them with their own rite should they want to flee in that direction.
