We need to know not merely what we are doing when we pronounce absolution, but what power and authority is given in ordination to the priesthood.<br /><br />Again, a most hearty thank you for setting for what is not simply true Anglican teaching but also the true teaching of the Catholic Church.Canon Tallishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05182884929479435751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18902745.post-81900707276591064692011-03-04T18:27:54.659-05:002011-03-04T18:27:54.659-05:00Thank you for this.

In terms of private confession and absolution, on the surface the '79 BCP may appear to be more "catholic" than the '28 because of its rite for "Reconciliation of a Penitent." But in that BCP that particular rite is immediately followed up by a rite that essentially allows a layman to pronounce absolution and forgiveness! When I first saw that I said to myself, "What is the lesson here? The '79 BCP is a bunch of liberal mumbo-jumbo mish-mash that makes no sense."<br /><br />JGAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
