VATICAN sources have reportedly dismissed recent rumours that it had decided on a mechanism to admit some 300,000 worldwide members of the Traditional Anglican Communion (TAC).

The metropolitan of the TAC's Canadian province, Victoria-based Bishop Peter Wilkinson of Victoria, also dismissed the rumours, while expressing hope there would soon be significant progress towards communion between the TAC and the Roman Catholic church. "I'm hoping it will happen this year," Wilkinson told BCCN.

The rumour, which began as an Australian blog, was repeated by the Canadian Catholic and the British secular press. It reported that the TAC's members in more than 40 countries were to be readmitted to the Catholic church en masse, as a "personal prelature" like Opus Dei.
