R.:Youaremistakenas tothePopewhodealtwith thematter.ItwasPope LeoXIII,thesuccessorof PiusIX,whodeclaredAnglicanOrdersnullandvoid asfarasthegenuineChristianpriesthoodisconcerned.

TheCatholicChurch. therefore,doesnotrecognise thepowerofAnglican clergymentoadministermny ChristianSacramentsvalidlyexceptbaptism-which, ofcourse,canbeadministeredvalidlyevenbylaypeople.

IfanAnglicancleryman isreceivedintotheCatholic Church,heisreceivedasa memberofthelaity.I mightaddthattheforemost AnglicantheologianinSydney,ArchdeaconT.C.Hammond,declaredinabroadcastfromStation2CHduringoneofhissessionsthat hefullyagreedAnglican Ordersarenullandvoidin theRomansenseofthe word.

Q.:SomeCatholicwriters admitthatCatholictheologiansweredividedabout thematter.

R..:Thereisnoneedtosay "someCatholicwriters."All Catholicwritersadmitthat Catholictheologianswere dividedintheiropinionson thesubjectbeforePopeLeo XIIIsettledthequestionby hisDecreethatAnglican Ordersareinvalid. Whilstthesubjectwasan openone,however,thevast majorityofCatholictheologiansheldthattheywere nullandvoid.Onlyacomparativelyfewmaintained theopposite.

Q.:Thesewriterssaythe Popehimselffavouredthe viewthattheywerevalid.

R.:Ifanywriterssaythat, theycouldonlymean,not thatthePopethoughtAnglicanOrdersvalid,butthat hehopedsuchanopinion couldbeproved.

PopeLeoXIIIwasvery keenontheconversionof EnglandbacktotheCatholicChurch.Hebelievedone obstacletothiswouldbe removedifAnglicanOrders couldbeprovedvalid,thus makingiteasierforthe Anglicanclergytosubmitto Rome.

Afterthreemonths'study, withaccesstoalldocuments, theunanimousverdictwas thatAnglicanOrderswere nullandvoid.PopeLeo XIII,afterlongpersonal considerationofthepapers putbeforehim,issuedthe Decree"ApostolicaeCurae" in1896condemningAnglicanOrders.

Q.:ApparentlythePope changedhismind.

R.:Thatisnottrue.It hadalwaysbeentakenfor grantedinpracticethat AnglicanOrderswereinvalid,andconvertAnglican clergymenwhocouldand wishedtobecomepriests hadbeenre-ordained.

Butnoinfallibledefinition onthesubjecthadbeen given,andwhenitwasallegedthatalltherelevant factshadnotbeenfully considered,thePopewas gladtoappointthecommissionofinquiry.
