When in Rome, do as the Romans do , unless you are among the "Celtic Bishops" visiting the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity. Then you continue doing your own thing regardless.

Not just one representative but the entire bench of bishops of the Church in Wales is in Rome for another Week of Prayer for Christian Unity whichbegan in 1908 as the Octave of Christian Unity and takes place from 18 to 25 January.

Celtic spirituality has long since given way to secularism in the hierarchies of the "Celticdanquot; churches where bishops masquerade as bishops of the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church despite going their own way in defiance of the wishes of the Roman Catholic and Holy Orthodox churches who warned of the consequences for unity when women were admitted to the priesthood.

The Celtic bishops would have done better getting on their knees in the cathedrals of their ailing churches, begging for forgiveness for what they have done.

Postscript [19.01.2018]

The bishop of Llandaff has tweeted: "Celtic bishops finish our time in Rome with Anglican Evensong at St Paul without the Walls for the Week of Prayer for. Christian Unity ?That all may be free? "

What are the aims of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity?

To pray as Christ prayed ?That they may be one?.

To pray for the unity of all Christian people as we share in Christ?S ministry.

From The Irish News: "THE annual Week of Prayer for Christian Unity starts today, heralding a period of prayer and reflection on the theme 'that all may be free'." - To do as they please?

Pray that the bishops do not get stuck in Rome  as a consequence of Italian airport workers going on strike. Oh I don't know though! Better if they stayed there and re-learnt the faith.
