So I think the term is ambiguous.
Slightly sorry . . . but I think a lot of Proddys would be eager to hear . . .
what percentage of words in the Vatican Daffinitionary
are NOT ambiguous????
2%? 3%?
To speak of the Anglican Rite as a denomination of Catholicism and the Methodists as a denomination of Anglicanism is to say two very different things.
Canterbury does not acknowledge Methodist orders or sacraments. But the Holy See DOES acknowledge the the orders and sacraments of the Anglican Rite Catholics. Methodism is not "part" of Anglicanism, but the Anglican Rite is part of Catholicism.
Its not a matter of daffynitions, it's a matter of truth, -- which may explain why it sounds foreign to some.
