"Three Church of Ireland parishes have asked to be received into full communion with the Catholic Church, The Irish Catholic newspaper reports this week.&amp;nbsp; The decision would pave the way for over 400,000 Anglicans to become Catholic.  &amp;nbsp;  The parishes, located in the counties Down, Tyrone and Laois, are members of the traditional rite of the Church of Ireland.&amp;nbsp; The rite emerged in 1991 after the House of Bishops of the Church of Ireland decided to start ordaining women.&amp;nbsp; Traditionalist Anglicans rejected this decision as a &amp;quot;defiance of both Scripture and Tradition.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
