A.:Thankyouverymuch.It isalwaysahelptoknowthat peopleareinterested.You write:

"Anillustrationinthe'West Australian'paperinOctober lastwhichread:'Archbishop Febervary,oftheOldRoman CatholicChurchofHungary, andhis thirteen-year-old bride.'Wouldyoupleaselet meknowwhatistheOldRomanCatholicChurch?"

A.:Theillustrationyoumentioncausedalotofspeculation whenitappeared.Interestwas arousedbytheideaofanArchbishopgettingmarried,andalso bytheageofhisbride.About thelatterpointIknownomore thanyou.TheOldRomanCatholicChurch,ormorecorrectly, theOldCatholicChuch,dates from1871.InSeptemberof thatyearatMunich,onthesuggestionofone,VonSchulte,wiho representedagroupofopponentstotheVaticanCouncilthen insession,theOldCatholic Churchwasestablished.Their differenceswiththeCouncilwere doctrinal;Indpolitical.Many ofthemhadalreadyapostatised andhadbeenexcommunicated.

"Canyouprovefromatext fromtheBiblethatpriests oughtnottomarry?"

A.:No.Thelardofcelibacy isnotofDivinebutofEcclesiasticallaw.Ican,however,recommendyoutoreadSt.Paul onthisquestion.Inchapter7 ofthefirstEpistletotheCorinthiansyouwillfindSt.Paul's adviceonthematter.Having givensomeadvicetothosewho aremarried,hecontinues:"But Ispeakthisbyindulgence,not bycommandment,ForIwould, thatallmenwereevenasmyself, ButIsaytotheunmarriedandtothewidows:Itis goodforthemiftheysocontinue,evenasIdo."Later,in verse25,hecontinues:"Now, concerningvirgins,Ihaveno commandmentoftheLord;butI givecounsel,ashavingobtained mercyoftheLord,tobefaithful. Ithink,therefore,thatthisis goodforthepresentnecessity; thatitisgoodforamantobe so."ThelawoftheChurchin thismatterisfoundedonthe desirethattheclergyshould firstofallbemenofself-denial, andsecondlythat,unencumberedbyfamilycares,theymay moreearnestlydevotethemselvestothetasksoftheircalling.

RelationsBetweenChurch AndParliament

"WhoappointsBishops?Doestomakelav,aboutmattersof Parliamentratifysuchappointments?DoesParliament ratifydoctrinesoftheChurch ofEngland,whatexactlyis therelationshipbetweenthat ChurchandParliament?"

A.:TheChurchofEnglandin themothercountryhasalways exhibitedstrongnationalistictendencies,andiscloselydependentontheState.TheBishops areState-appointed,theelection bytheClfapterbeingreducedto amereformality.Theclergy beforebeingappointedmustassenttotheThirty-NineArticles andtheBookofCommonPrayer. AnglicansaccepttheBookof CommonPrayerasthepractical ruleoftheirbeliefandworship.

TheAnglicanBishopsareforbiddentolegislateeveninmattersofdoctrineandliturgy,asis clearfromtherejectionofthe revisedversionoftheBookof CommonPrayerbytheHouseof Commonsin1927andin1928. Bishopsinconvocationareforbiddentomakelawswithoutthe permissionoftheKing,andeven thenthelawsonlytakeeffect whentheymeetwiththeKing's approval.Theclergyreceive theirauthoritytopreachandadministerthesacramentsfromthe King.Bypresentdaylawsno onemayopposeanyoneappointedtoofficebytheKing,nomatterhowunworthytheymay considerhimforthepositon.

In1640ArchbishopLaud, smartingundertherestraintof theState,drewupandpublished asetoflaw*afteranAnglican Convention,butthisattemptat spiritualindependencewasat oncerepressed,andtheindignationofParliamentwassogreat thathebeggedtobeallowedto withdrawthelawsandagreedto theunanimousresolutionpassed intheHouseofCommonsthat theBishopsandclergyofEnglandhadnopowerwhatsoever

doctrineordisciplinewithoutthe consentandapprovalofParliament.Until1833theCrown exercisedthissupremejurisdictionthroughaspecialbodycalled theCourtofDelegates,which consistedoflayjudgeswith whommightbeassociatedanumberofBishopsandclergy.In 1833,however,thisCourtwas abolishedandallsuchmatters weredecidedbytheKingupon theadviceofthePrivyCouncil, whichwasknownastheJudicial Committee.Torealisethepower ofthisbody,considerthecaseof MrGorham,in1850.Thisman openlyrejectedthedoctrineof Baptismalregeneration,andthe scandalisedpeople,aswellasthe shockedBishop,coulddonothing topreventhimfrombeingappointedtoaliving,sincethe JudicialCommitteedecidedthat thisman'sbeliefswere"notcontraryorrepugnanttothedeclareddoctrineoftheChurchof EnglandasbyLawestablished." Inlikemanner,inspiteofthe vehementoppositiontotheappointmentofDr.Hampdonto theSeeofHereford,thePrime Ministerinsistedthatitwasthe rightoftheCrowntoappoint whomitwished.Thisdecision waslater.upheldintheLaw Courts.In1904aRoyalCommissionwasheldanditsreport recommendedthattheCrown shouldbeboundtoacceptthedecisionsoftheassembledBishops onquestionsofdoctrineand ritual.Thiswouldhavepartly liberatedtheChurchofEngland fromthespiritualslaverytothe civilpowerunderwhichithad sufferedforover300years,but Parliament,composedofmenof everyfaithandsomewithno faithwhatsoever,stillcontrols whattheBishops,clergyand membersoftheAnglicanChurch maypractiseandbelieve.You write:

ThreeDegreesOf Anglicanism

"ArethebeliefsoftheHigh andLowChurchesidentical andhelduniformlythroughout theAnglicanChurch?Ifnot, inwhatwaysdothey diverge?"

A.:HowAnglicanismcould evergetawayfromtheinvbteratecustomoftoleratingheresy remainsyettobefound.Inthe courseofitshistorypractically everypointoffaith,theBlessed Trinity,theDivinityofChrist OurLord,HisVirginbirth,the Resurrection,thevisibleChurch onearth,haseitherbeendenied ordoubtedwithimpunity.Anglicanismobviouslydoesnotbelieveeitherincondemningheresyorindefiningtruth.

IfyoureadtheThirty-Nine ArticlesofProtestantbelief,you willrealisehowmuchtheHigh ChurchAnglicansdifferfromthe restoftheirbrethren.Forinstance,theXXXIArticlereadsas follows!"Thesacrificesofthe Masses,inwhichitiscommonly said,thatthepriestdidoffer Christforthelivingandthedead, tohaveremissionofpainor guilt,wereblasphemousfables anddangerousdeceits."Article XXVII.isevenstronger;it reads:"Transubstantiationorthe changeofthesubstanceofbread andwineintheSupperofthe Lordisrepugnanttotheplain
