A Couple Of Odds And Ends

A Couple Of Odds And Ends

Log Alongside

I rejected a document when it was written to garner on a typographical mistake, attack someone. The definitive verify reader in the world is the author of any liable fix in place or document, seeing what he rumored to mouthful somewhat than what he typed. It happens to the bbessttt of uss.

IN Fine OF A Later than usual Do exercises THAT HAS BEEN POSTED TO THE INTERNET, I find it judicious to post a clasp to one of our above pages, from Sept of 2008. It concerns the consideration of Eric Lionel Mascall, and what he actually wrote about the papacy.

I energy quote two portions:


From Beginning Eric L. Mascall. "Federation Christi: Essays on the Religious and Eucharist". London: Longmans, 1965. 2nd ed. Pages 17f.

"...the Religious, as a definite and material group, living in the important route, requests a definite and material affiliate of its unity, bit that deal is, as I show off emphasised, an being and mystical unity and not a right or supporting one. The Religious is a definite and material group, but it is a sacramental one, and the affiliate of its unity energy be a sacramental affiliate. This is why, as I see it, the apostolic Episcopate neatly fulfils the wishes for such an affiliate, for the episcopal front is conferred by a sacramental act. And this is why it seems to me unworkable to dwelling the affiliate of the Church's unity in the Papacy, for the papal front is not conferred by a sacramental act at all, but by the righteously administrative and organisational route of show of hands. Whether the Papacy has, by divine fortune, a individualistic magnificence in the Religious and, if so, what are the functions which rightly place to it are, of course, indispensable questions, but by its very organization the Papacy does not, so far as I can see, consider the identity which is forced in the affiliate of the Church's unity."

The flaunt quotation is:


"As for Eric Mascall, he was distinctly defeat by the mood that the Religious of England may perhaps eventually ordain women, and he voiced his devastation to Dr. William Tighe in household sermon. At rest, he died a Religious of England priest. In his book "The Upturn of Organization," he wrote at scale his adverse for the Anglican situate, and with reflect on argued against the Roman teaching on the papacy as it has full-grown (the better-quality liberation is from a well-defined work, and summarizes part of the spare fact state of affairs in the book). The actual is true of the Autocratic Mysticism series by Francis Porch, in which a memory of the Anglican situate was nicely written in light of theology and history."

I energy add that Francis Porch also wrote his own start on of the modern Roman teaching about the papacy in "Autocratic Mysticism".*

It is precious also to quote a document from that chain by Fr. Laurence Wells:

"Tutor Tighe's information is eternally useful and actually take. But he omits one fact: anything their views on this or that, Lewis, Dix and Mascall all died as Anglicans. Whatever Dix deliberation about the papacy, it was not a lot to depress him appearing in the Tiber."

I chart reading it all; it is not desire. I vow you, ridiculous as it may be, class this is timely. "Whilst this be passion, yet give is modus operandi in it." Community Act 2, surroundings 2,

* Included in the signal for his situate, Porch mentioned an 1850 Roman Catholic catechism in which the liability was asked, is the pope infallible? The involvement was "no." The Religious, it skilled, is infallible, but not the pope. After 1870, like the pope became infallible retroactively, persons old catechisms were complete up and dejected. Hall's take off absconder.
