Inflammatory posts from a Latin source, especially as they are posted here by a known and respected Roman Catholic poster, are not at all helpful, especially when the posts are quoting the discredited ravings of heretics. What exactly is your purpose in posting these screeds?

We have been through this before already. These 1938 posts are out of synch with the official Catholic teaching today (in a way they show very vividly how the Latin Church radically changed her teachings within the same century!).

A warning box pointing to the year of publication would be in order, as well as stating the purpose of such posts. First time it can excused as an omission, the second time not. All of us need to send these subversive posts to Catholic archbishops and the Vatican because some Catholic posters seem hellbent on ruining Rome's attempt at bringing the divided Church closer to a reunion.

Okay, I just say the "box" which explains the tone but not the PURPOSE of these posts. The "box" tries to attenuate the tone as well by giving the background of the authors and the 'in your face' manner of dealing with issues in the 1930's. Whatever the historical context, it doesn't explain why this is relevant today or what they are expected to accomplish. Please, cease and desist.

Please do not mistake the opinions expressed in Radio Replies with official Church teaching. The teaching of the Catholic Church has not changed. Remember that Anglican orders were not deemed invalid because of their separation from Rome but because an early Anglican order of consecration of bishops, under the influence of Calvinist theology, was lacking in form and expressed a denial of the transmission of priestly powers. This defect has never been charged against the Orthodox. Frs. Rumble and Carty were wrong even in 1938.
