Gomes quotes an anonymous Anglican cleric from Argentina saying that “first, Nazir-Ali isn't the kind of convert we are looking for under the Francis pontificate; second, such a high-profile conversion is a setback to ecumenism; third, Francis seems to have always indicated he believes in the validity of Anglican orders" (as Francis is known for his heterodoxy).
Nazir-Ali, a father of two sons, converted on September 29 and will be ordained a priest on October 30 by the anti-Catholic Westminster Cardinal Vincent Nichols.
