I resist the idea of women priests, not for anything concerning women, when I was a p.p. I had women servers, but because of Tradition. In two thousand years as far as i can see we have never had women in the Holy Orders! I don't believe we should break a basic tradition, of (2000yrs) such an...

This question of what, or who is the Catholic Church, is paramount to our discussion! If we look in scripture we find the Church refered to as ,'The Church of God, which is at Corinth', or to the Churches of God at Galatia! In Britain, the small but active Church there was refered to as the...

The latin mass was allowed under Elizabeth as far as I understand. There was a Mass for the dead in Eliza's time for a French Prince. [ D'Alencon, ?] With the two archbishops and others all according to the Anglican Prayer Book. I was told that a latin mass was correct for those who understood...

_________________________________________________________________________________________Good Friend, You would be no more an Anglican than the moon is green cheese. To be Anglican you would have to be baptised, with this you would become a Member of Christ! In other words a Catholic! Then...

And feel welcome, "later nonjuror", in explaining where you fit into the pot--presumably Continuing Anglican. Where the Old Catholics (sort of the same as TAC, but heading in the opposite direction) and EO fit in would be worth analysis as well...

===================================================================The Anglican Church and its derivation from pre-Trent RCs! The Anglican Church was not a derivation of the pre Trent RCs. At least according to many scholars, both from the later reformation and from the comparitive present.*...

16th century Rome deserved to be hated. Unfortunately, some people are still living in the 16th century. It is not a question of hating or disliking Rome, (though I do dislike it.) It is a question of integrity! Rome in my opinion is the greatest source of heresy in the Christian/Catholic...

Your slip's showing!

I'll pass your ill manners, and ask if you do not know that individuals are made members of Christ by baptism?" Whilst the Church is the body of Christ! Therefore regretable though it may be the individual member might be misled, whilst the Body of Christ, (the Church,) through the Holy Ghost...

The Roman Church was never condemned as anti-Christ by the Church of England! It was so condemned by individuals who happened to be Anglican, that's another matter and stemmed from the revulsion felt by many at the cruel policies pursued not only by Romanist Governments but the Roman Church...

More evasion.? I still say that Anglicanism is not protestant in a religious sense. Anglicanism is no more than the distillation of two thousand years of Catholicity stemming from within the British Isles. The term was used in Elizabethan and Stuart times to oppose the political moves of...

The Anglican Church taught that we should receive the Consensus of the Greek Fathers not particularly the view of anyone man. This is a slight development of the teaching s of S.Vincent of Lerins. "If a question arises on which no Council has dealt then the enquirer is to collect the...

First of all you should, as it has been suggested previously, define what you mean by protestant? Classically a protestant is a Lutheran. The Church has never claimed that stance, but interestingly in 1791 the Roman Church claimed, in a letter to the Parliament, to be Dissenting Catholic...

[B] King Charles the First! In1661 at the Restoration of the Church, Jan 30th was ordered to be kept, after a debate in Convocation, as a public fast. Also a form of prayer was drawn up by Bishop Duppa. This contained a prayer that by a,' careful studious imitation of this thy saint and...

Further to the above message! I have to say that I do not believe that what is now (more than ever,) refered to as the Anglican Communion, to be a part of the Holy Catholic Church. To my mind they are better described as Neo Anglicans. Even apart from Women in Orders, I think that the modern...

All Christians are members of the one holy catholic church, which is the bride of Christ. So schism away or not, it matters not a jot. I agree to some extent, all baptised Christians are made Catholics and they are confirmed in their membership by the Bishops the descendants of the apostles...
