Default Why has the Anglican Communion become so fractured?

I saw the number of churches that claim to be Anglican or Episcopal without having any connection to the Archbishop of Canterbury and how many Anglicans have been received into the Catholic church following the Anglicanorum Coetibus they plaid this out as something big in the American media but was it?

The Anglican church was too broad for some of its former members, so they moved out.

The Epicopal church has been corrupted....they have been asked for many years to repent, yet they refuse to. Many people feel that it is the Epicople church that has left.

I myself, belong to the Anglican Communion of North America

Perhaps one of the reasons for the fracture is that Anglicans are also fighting the good fight regarding the "gay" issue. Overly simplistic to be sure, but once more no one is prepared to exercise godly discipline on the Episcopal Church for its blatant defiance of the Windsor Report and a Covenant in the process of being ratified by all the provinces of the Anglican Communion over sexuality issues which has seen TEC defy the communion not once, but twice by electing an avowed homosexual and lesbian to the episcopacy.
The open defiance of the communion?s requested Moratorium on the subject is met with muted outrage as no one is prepared to put their foot down and lay down the law, largely because the communion?s Instruments of Unity are stacked with liberals and token orthodox believers who get shot down if they should so much as raise their voices.

Groaned one English cleric, ?Why, oh why, oh why is TEC permitted to retain such influence in a Communion in which it is an insignificant flea on the rump of the orthodox majority?? (BTW -TEC stands for the Episcopalian Communion)
