No, bishops will become priests. (I don't know how else to phrase it - obviously, bishops ARE priests, but Anglican bishops will lose their status as bishops and become simple priests.)
eta - Here's the press conference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Epv1rzcRBZE
But unless you love press conferences, this is a better treatment: http://whispersintheloggia.blogspot....e-is-born.html
Our local news really blew their coverage. The reporter said OLOW was founded as an Anglican parish that then went Roman Catholic (not true) and in trying to explain about how married Anglican priests would be accepted said that they would not be able to perform all the duties of a Roman Catholic priest, which is also not true. They just won't be able to become bishops.
