Joe, you're a bit behind on news re: the Anglicans, I think. Here in the US, a number of high profile parishes have already left the Episcopal church and aligned with the more traditionally-minded Anglican Province of Nigeria. This occurred when the Episcopal Church's House of Bishops rejected the Windsor Covenant.

At the last Lambeth Conference the Nigerian primate and others from the global south made it clear they were seriously considering what their responsibilities call them to say and do in response to what they increasingly view as apostasy on the part of the US and UK churches. Since the global south includes a strong element of evangelican protestantism as well as the other tendencies within traditional Anglican theology and worship, they are unlikely to join those parishes who have moved towards Rome. Instead, I think we'll see that the next Lambeth Conference will bring open rebuke at a larger scale. These are churches who, for the most part, gather under physical threat of their lives from both Islamicists and in some parts of the world from repressive governments.

#5 They will NOT be able to use Catholic facilities at all. NY Archbishop and head of the US Catholic Bishops has already set a precedent. if the RC Church in England follows it.

#6 I have no problem with civil marriages among gays if the majority of a society agrees. I have a very large problem with a government forcing a church to take actions that are against the church's doctrine and practice. There is a critical difference between intervening to prevent active abuses (child marriage, for instance) and affirmatively imposing practices on a religious community.
