Publisher's Synopsis
""A Vindication of the Bull Apostolicae Curae"" is a letter written by Cardinal Archbishop Herbert Alfred Vaughan and other bishops of the Province of Westminster in 1898. The letter defends the validity of the Bull Apostolicae Curae, which was issued by Pope Leo XIII in 1896 and declared Anglican orders to be ""absolutely null and utterly void."" The letter argues that the Bull was necessary to clarify the Church's position on Anglican orders and to prevent confusion among the faithful. It also responds to criticisms of the Bull from Anglican leaders and defends the Catholic Church's authority to make such declarations. The book provides a detailed and scholarly defense of the Catholic Church's position on Anglican orders, and is an important historical document in the ongoing dialogue between the Catholic and Anglican churches.In Reply To The Letter Addressed To Them By The Anglican Archbishops Of Canterbury And York.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
