WhyAnglicanBishopsDo NotPossessValidOrders

"Catholic,"Victoria:AnAnglicanfriendquotedtomeabook entitled,"TheChristianFaith,"byC.B.Moss,inwhichhesays thatallpresentAnglicanBishopsderivetheirsuccessionfromWilliamLaud,ArchbishopofCan-terbury,1633-1645.

AnglicanBishopshavevalid episcopalordersinthe Catholicsenseoftheword, forWilliamLaud'sepiscopal consecrationwasitselfnull andvoidaccordingtoCatholicrequirements.

reignofEdwardVI,in1552.

R.:Thatmeansthatnodinal,datingonlyfromtheOxford,dyinginthefollowingyear,1568.SinceWilliamLaudwasfirst"consecrated"aBishop,tothe SeeofSt.David's,in1621, hisconnectionwithCurwencouldonlybethrough someotherBishop"consecrated"byCurwen.

If,then,anAnglican Bishopbecameaconvertto theCatholicChurch,he wouldrankasanordinary Catholiclayman,aswasthe casewithBishopFrederick J.Kinsman,ofDelaware, U.S.A.,whenhewasreceivedintotheCatholic Churchin1919.

LinesDigressed

Q.:Dr.Mossdeclaresthat threelinesofpre-reformationepiscopacymetin WilliamLaud,English throughParker,ofCanterbury,Irishthrough Curwen,ofDublin,and RomanthroughDeDominis,ArchbishopofSpalato.

R.:WilliamLaudreceived noepiscopacyteachingback intopre-reformationtimes, forhewas"consecrated"

Parkerhimselfwasnota BishopintheCatholicsense oftheword.Theothertwo, CurwenandDeDominis, werevalidly-consecrated CatholicBishops,bothapostatesandheretics. ButtheyusedtheEdwardineOrdinalwhenofficiatingintheChurchof England,whichnullified theirministrations.

Q.:WasParkeratrue Bishop?

R.:No.Hewasthefirst ElizabethanArchbishopof Canterbury,andwas"consecrated"accordingtothe ineffectiveEdwardineOrdinalof1552.

Q.:Whowas'Curwen?

R.:HughCurwenwasappointedbythePopeas ArchbishopofDublinin 1555,duringthereignof MaryTudor.Assoonas MarydiedandElizabeth becameQueen,in1558,he turnedProtestantandtook tousingtheBookofCommonPrayerandtheEdwardineOrdinal. accordingtothenewandIn1567hewastransferProtestantEdwardineOr-redtoEnglandasBishopof oneeeeeeoeeneeeeeeeeeeeq

ButdespiteCurwen's validepiscopacy,theuseof theEdwardineProtestant Ordinalpreventedthe transmissionofvalidorders.

Q.:HowdidDeDominis, ArchbishopofSpalato, comeintoit?

R.:DeDominiswasa Dalmatian,whobecame CatholicArchbishopofSpalatoin1602.Takentotask byPopePaulV.formaladministration,heapostatisedfromtheCatholic Church,fledtoEnglandin 1616,andtherejoinedthe AnglicanChurch,tothe greatdelightofKingJames r.

Tocurryfavour,he obliginglywroteviolentattacksuponRome,andassistedinthe"consecration" ofGeorgeMontaigneas AnglicanBishopofLincoln in1617.

ButtheProtestantEdwardineOrdinalwasused, whichmadethewholeprocedureofnoeffect!If Montaigne,ofLincoln,assistedinthe"consecration" ofWilliamLaudin1621,he wouldhavehadnovalid episcopalpowersderived fromDeDoministoconfer uponLaud.

Imightaddthat,in1622, DeDominisabandonedthe ChurchofEngland,leftthe country,returnedtothe CatholicChurchandlived inretirementinRome, whereherecantedallthat hehadwrittenagainst Catholicism,declaringthat hehaddeliberatelylied,and devotedhimselftowriting equallyviolentattackson theChurchofEngland!

EdwardineOrdinal

Q.:Myfriendwantstoknow howyoucandeclareAnglicanOrdersinvalidinthe lightofLaud'sconsecrationbyDeDominis?

R.:Ihavealreadyexplainedthattheuseofthe 1552ProtestantEdwardine Ordinalpreventedanyvalid transmissionofHolyOrders, whetherdirectlyorindirectly,fromDeDoministoWilliamLaud.

WhatIsCatholic ViewOfMarriage AmongOutsiders

Q.:Isamarriagebetween non-Catholicswhohave notbeenbaptisedvalid intheeyesofthe Church?

R.:Yes.Lackofbaptism wouldmeanthattheunion didnotconstitutetheChristianSacramentofMatrimony.Butsuchamarriage wouldconstituteanatural matrimonialcontract,in itselfvalidandbindinguntildeath.

Nocivildivorcecould breakthatbondinthesight ofGod,norgivetheparties therightinconsciencetoremarry,solongasbothstill lived.

AsregardsthatEdwardine Ordinal,backinAugust, 1947,ArchdeaconT.C. Hammond,one-timePrincipalofSydney'sTheological Collegeforthetrainingof Anglicanministers,gavea radiotalkonthesubject fromStation2CH.

R.:Asaconverttothe CatholicChurchmyself,I mustcongratulateyour brotheronhishavingattainedtothesamegreat blessing.

Afterall,weknowfrom St.Matthew(16:18)that OurLordsaid:"Iwillbuild myChurch:"andfrom 28:19that,inthepersonsof theApostlesandtheirsuccessors,Hecommandedthat Churchtogoandto"teach allnations"withHisauthorityandunderhisprotection.

Inacceptingtheofficial teachingsofthatChurch therefore-anditisthe CatholicChurch-weare quitesurethatweare beinggiventhegenuine teachingsofChrist.

Q.:Willyoupleasetellus whereintheBibleitappearsthatanyperson otherthanOurLordJesus Christhasevergoneinto heaven?

R.:InJohn(14:2-3),we findOurLordsaying:"Igo toprepareaplaceforyou, thatwhereIamyoualso maybe."Heaven,therefore,wasnottobeforHimonly. Andthatthosewholove andserveHimgothere,or cangothere,immediately afterdeath,isevidentfrom OurLord'swordstotherepenantthiefwhowasdying withHimonCalvary:"VerilyIsayuntothee:Today shaltthoubewithmein paradise."(Luke23:43).

Ifthesoulofthatrepentantthiefisnotin heavennow,whereishe? WritingtotheCorinthians, St.Paulsaysthatwhilstwe areathomeinthebodywe areabsentfromtheLord, butthatequallysurelyto beabsentfromthebodywill betobepresentwiththe Lord(2Cor.5:6-8.)

Again,St.Paulwroteto thePhilippiansthathehimselfdesiredtodepartthis lifeand"tobewithChrist. whichisfarbetter" (Philipp.I,23).Thatcould onlymeanbeingwithChrist inheaven.

IntheBookofRevelation St.Johntellsofthevision ofheavengrantedtohim, andhowhewastoldof somehesawthereinwhite robes:"Thesearetheywhich cameoutofgreattribula-

tion,andhavewashedtheir robesandmadethemhite inthebloodofthe b; thereforearetheybfore theThroneofGod"(Rev. 7:14-15).

Thereisnoroomfor doubtthatthesaintsand martyrsoftheagesarewith Christinheaven.

Q.:Wouldyoualsoplease quoteJohn3:13? R.:Iwill;althoughithas nothingwhatevertodo withthisparticularmatter. Theversereads:"Noman hathascendeduptoheaven, butHethatcamedown fromheaven,eventheSon ofManwhoisinheaven."

Nowwhatexactlydo thosewordsmean?They meanthis.OurLordhad beenspeakingofheavenly truthstoNicodemus.Nicodemuswasastonishedand bewildered.

IsolatedTexts

AndOurLord,toreassurehim,said:"Wespeak whatweknowandtestify tothatwhichwehaveseen." Then,intheverseIhave quotedatyourrequest,He said:"Nooneonearthexceptmyselfcanspeakto youfrompersonalexperienceofsuchheavenly things,fornomanhasbeen ableto.gotoheavenand comebackagaintotellyou ofthem.Onlyonewhohas comefromheaven-asI havedone-candoso."

Itistomissthemeaning altogethertotakeliterally thewords"nomanhath ascendeduptoheaven,"and stopatthatandsay:"There, noonehasevergoneto heaven!"OurLordnever intendedtosayanysuch thing.

AllHemeantwas,asI haveexplained,"Iamable totellyouthesethingsbecauseIhavecomefrom heaven.Andthereisno manonearthwhohasbeen toheavenandbacktobe abletodoso."

But,believinginthe divineinspirationofthe Gospels,sheholdsthatthose casesreportedbytheevangeliststohavebeencases ofdevil-possessionwereindeedcasesofdevil-possession.

PharmacistSaysMoralConduct

OfBusinessCallsForSupport

Sir,-AsaCatholicbusinessman,Ihavelistened withmuchconcerntorecentcriticismofacertain sectionoftheprofessionof pharmacy-notably,but notonly,Catholics-who refuse,formoralreasons, tosellcontraceptives.

Theobjectionofthe criticsis,thattherefusalto carrytheselinesisplaying :intothehandsofthose "outsiders"whowouldlike tosellthemandneedlittle excusetodoso.

Theirexcusewouldbe "wemusthelpthepublic togetwhattheywant".

Itislittlewonderthat these"outsiders"want theselines,andthatthe pharmacistislothtolose hismonopoly. Whatotherlineofgoods carriesaminimumpercentageof300%clearprofit, oriftheyareboughtin largeparcels(asmost chemistsdobuythem), withreducedratesand bonuses,600%andeven higheroncost?

LabourStoppedThinkingYearsAgo

Sir,-IregretthatR.J.H. hasmisunderstoodmyletter.Ididnotsuggdst,nor didIthinkthathisFrench authoritywasinerror,but onlythathewasprobably beingmisreadandcertainly misused.

OurBishopsdidnotregardCommunismasirrelevant;tothemitwasthe vitalissueinLabour's crisis.TheydidnottheoreticallydismissitassomethingonwhichallCatholicsareagreed.

Thecheapclap-trapof theCommuniststhatPapal encyclicalsareapoorsubstituteforbread,isunworthyofaCatholic.

Itisnowabout25years sinceAustralianCatholics weretoldthattheycould conscientiouslycompromise withtheunsoundLabour platform.Itwashopedthat Christianthinkingmight graduallyhavesomeeffect.

Ithashadpractically none.Thedaysofcompromisearewellover,now thattheLabourmachineis ingravedangerofpassing underCommunistcontrol.

However,attheriskof amildreprovalfrom "Ronsard",Iwishtopoint outthatthehistoricalmattercouldhavebeenmore accurate.

Theauthorstatesthat KingJamesIofScotland wasmurderedbytheEarl ofPerth,whereasinreality theassassinationofthe poet-kingwascarriedout bySirRobertGrahamand hisassociates.
