"Female Anglican bishop ‘concelebrates’ Mass with Catholic priests"

"The Apostolic Nuncio to El Salvador has issued a correction after a female Anglican prelate joined Catholic clergy on the altar to concelebrate a recent Mass.

On March 24, a Mass was held to mark the 45th anniversary of the assassination of Archbishop Oscar Romero. Held in the chapel of the Hospitalito La Divina Providencia, where Romero was assassinated, the Mass was offered by Bishop Oswaldo Estéfano Escobar Aguilar of the Diocese of Chalatenango.

Pictures of the event clearly show a female Anglican cleric participating in the Mass on the altar, wearing a stole and alb like the concelebrating Catholic priests.

Though not identified by name, the woman has been described as a female bishop of the Anglican Episcopal Church of El Salvador.

Reports suggest that she was present on the altar until the time for the reception of Communion, though there is no evidence to suggest she received Holy Communion herself.

Citing locals who attended the Mass, InfoVaticana reported that it was the third year that an Anglican cleric joined Catholic clergy on the altar to concelebrate."
