PleaseanswerinyourQuestionBox ColumnIstheApostolicSuccession completelybrokenintheGreekChurch? DoesyourChurchrecognise theOrdersof*GreekBishopsand priests?IfitdoeswhyarenotAnglicanOrdersrecognisedtoo?ProtestantInquirer.

Answer:-

ThequestionproposedbyourProtestantcorrespondentisonethatrequiresamuchlongerandmoreelaborateanswerthanweproposeto giveinthiscolumn.Ouranswer, thereforemustnotbetakenasexhaustingorsayingallthatmightbe saidonthesubject.Sufficientwill hegiventoshowourcorrespondent, thefundamentalcauseofhismisunderstanding.

TheApostolicsuccessioninthe GreekSchismaticChurchhasbeen completelybroken.Apostolicity, whichisamarkofthetrueChurch, isfoundonlyintheRomanCatholic Churchandnoneoftheseparate Churcheshaveanyvalidclaimtoit. TheGreekChurchlostitsApostolic successionbywithdrawingfromthe jurisdictionofthelawfulsuccessors ofSt.PeterintheSeeofRome.It hasbeenprovedbeyondtheshadow ofdoubtthatSt.Peterlivedin RomeandestablishedhisSeethere, anditisanindisputablefactthat theBishopsofRometookoverPeter'schairandPeter'sofficeofcontinuingtheworkofChrist,Tobe incontinuitywiththeChurchfoundedbyChrist,affiliationtotheSee ofPeterisnecessary,for,asamatterofhistory,thereisnoother ChurchlinkedtoanyotherApostle byanunbrokenchainofsuccessors.

Anglicanordersweredeclared"absolutelynullandutterlyvoid,"on accountofdefectofformintherite, anddefectofintentionintheminister,bytheBull"ApostolicaeSedis, in1898."TheChurch,"saysPope LeoXIII,"doesnotjudgeabove themindorintentioninsofarasit issomethingbyitsnatureinternal; butinsofarasitismanifestedexternally,sheisboundtojudgeconcerningit.Whenanyonehasrightlyandsincerelymadeuseofthe dueformandthematterrequisitefor affectingorconferringthesacrament heisconsideredbytheveryfactto dowhattheChurchdoes.Onthis principlereststhedoctrinethata sacramentistrulyconferredbythe ministryofonewhoisahereticor unbaptized,providedtheCatholicrite beemployed.Ontheotherhand,if theritebechangedwiththemanifestintentionofintroducinganother ritenotapprovedbytheChurchand ofrejectingwhattheChurchdoes, andwhatbytheinstitutionetChrist belongstothenatureofthesacrament,thenitisclearthatnotonly isthenecessaryintentionwantingto theSacrament,butthattheintentionisadversetoanddestructiveof thesacrament."

Question:-

"Awould-beSocialist"askshave Catholicsanydutyinconscienceis regardtoSocialism.Isittruetv saythey"exposetheirfaith"by, joiningsocialists?Isitmorally wrongtodefendSocialism?

Answer:-

TheGreekChurchembracingallthe EasternChurchesinvolvedinthe schismofPhotiusandMichaelCaerularius,andtheRussianChurchcan laynoclaimtoApostolicsuccession eitherdirectorindirect,i.e.,throughRome,becausetheyare,bytheir ownfactandwill,separatedfrom theRomanCommunion.

However,theRomanCatholicChurchrecognisesasvalid,ordersinthe GreekSchmismaticChurch.Schismaticsdonotlosethepoweroforder,theirpriestscansayMass,their bishopsconfirmandordain. But theylosealljurisdiction,sothat "theycannoteitherabsolve,excommunicateorgrantindulgencesor thelike;andiftheyattemptanythingofthekindtheactisnull."

AccordingtoCatholicdoctrine,it isnecessaryforvaliditythattheministerofasacramentshouldnotonlyemployaproperform,hutshould alsohavea'Dronerintention.These conditionsarepresentintheGreek ChurchtheyareabsentintheAnglicanChurch.

"FromtheAnglicanrite,"Pope LeoXIIIcontinues"hasbeendeliberatelyremovedwhateversetsforth thedignityandofficeofthepriesthoodintheCatholicrite.That formconsequentlycannotbeconsideredaptorsufficientf)rthesacramentwhichomitswhatitought essentiallytosignify.
