The Vatican released on December 4 a handbook for bishops on ecumenism which claims that ecumenism is not an optional “but a duty and obligation.”
Catholics are warned against a “polemical presentations of Christian history and theology” [read: offering historical and theological facts].
At the handbook’s presentation, Cardinal Kurt Koch, the President of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, called for a “better interpretation” of the Catholic teaching that Anglican orders are “null and void”, claiming that this issue “needs to be studied.”
"Null and void" refers to Leo XIII's bull Apostolicae Curae (1896) which after a careful study came to the conclusion that Anglican ordinations are invalid because of a deficiency of intention and of form.

Well, I suppose it seems obvious to folks enamored of FrancisChurch that the Anglicans are leading the way to the brave new religion this pope favors. What’s “null and void” about that?
If you don't wear a mask you will be "talked to." And, if you want to take Communion on the tongue you are going to have to wait until after mass and gather in the back of the church with those few who want to do likewise.
They are just doing the beginning maneuvering now, but we will soon be excluded altogether.
Our Lord said, "When you see these things come to pass, look up and know that your salvation is at hand."
Well this guy is...
A deficiency of intention and of form?
LOL
I have a friggin headache
going to a rally and get my head unscrewed...
Friggin never gave me a headache...
I want to be excluded from Bergoglio’s “church”. When he is gone, I will still belong to the Catholic Church.
The female ordinations are valid too?
We may have to find a little Church that still loves the Eucharist. We may have to have invite a good priest to our home.
When Frankie does his thang, it won't last for long.
