  • The Congregation of Saint Athanasius a Sermon Preached by Father
    The Congregation of Saint Athanasius A sermon preached by Father Bradford on The Feast of St Gregory the Great September 3, 2018 + A Feast of Title is always a happy occasion. A feast of title means that a group of Christ's faithful have decided to place their worship and work, for the spread and extension of Christ's Kingdom, under the protection and care of some aspect of the Lord's work, or as is so often the case, under the care and protection of a specific saint of the Church. In this way a feast of title is an affirmation of, and a logical outcome of, our belief in the communion of the saints. We are all in this together. I cannot help but observe how happy is the connection between the patron saints chosen for the original Anglican Use work in Boston and the one chosen for the Ordinariate community, and how happily blended they are into one parish family. Saint Athanasius and Saint Gregory are two of the eight illustrious Doctors of the Greek and Latin Church. And I recall the amusing but perceptive observation of my seminary colleague Fr. George Rutler who once remarked, "Anglicans become Catholic for theological reasons and Catholics become Anglican for glandular reasons." Yes indeed: it was for theological reasons. And it was the Catholic Church's appreciation of the Anglican patrimony which laid the foundation for bringing the expression of the faith we inherited under the protection of the Holy See. Saint Athanasius, at one point, only had the Holy Father as a true colleague; and Saint Gregory became the Roman Pontiff and in that capacity "the Apostle to the English," in the Venerable Bede's wonderful phrase.

Doll 1 The non-Roman catholicity of the Anglican liturgical tradition, which appeals so much to the Old Catholics, also provides a door for Roman Catholics to a half-forgotten Catholic patrimony. One of the most remarkable features of the pontificate of Benedict XVI was his determination to recover some of richness of liturgical tradition that he believed had been lost in the reforms since Vatican II.1 In 2007 he declared in the motu proprio Summorum Pontificum that both the Novus Ordo post-Vatican II rite of the Mass and the 1962 revision of the Tridentine rite were legitimate forms of the one Roman Rite, thereby breaking at a stroke the tradition that there should be only one version of the Roman Rite for the universal Church.

  • Anglicans and the Interpretation of Scripture
    Southwark Cathedral Lecture July 3rd 2008 ANGLICANS AND THE INTERPRETATION OF SCRIPTURE INTRODUCTION – BIBLE, BELIEF AND WORSHIP Original title: “The Anglican Understanding and Use of Scripture” I queried the use of “the” and the singular (in “understanding and use”). I was always taught that Anglicans have no separate doctrine and belief – this is rather a commonly repeated tenet of Anglicans. Archbishop Geoffrey Fisher: “We have no doctrine of our own – we only possess the Catholic doctrine of the Catholic Church enshrined in the Catholic creeds and those creeds we hold without addition or diminution.”1 Bishop Stephen Neil: “There are no special Anglican doctrines, there is no particular Anglican theology.”2 This view was challenged by Bishop Stephen Sykes in an essay originally written for the Lambeth Conference of 1988 and reprinted his Unashamed Anglicanism, in which he argues at least for an Anglican understanding of the church, if not doctrine, which also includes a commitment to the public reading of scripture.3 I would be interested to know how Canon Jane Steen’s lecture handled this topic of Anglican Belief last week! (not yet on the website). But at the very least, even granting Bishop Sykes’ point about an Anglican understanding of the church, there is no one, single Anglican doctrine for the understanding and use of scripture. Furthermore, the use of the singular “scripture” itself is somewhat problematic. After all, ta biblia in Greek, the word which gives us our singular word ‘Bible’, is actually plural, and means ‘the books’ so the phrase, “the scriptures” is a much better translation of ta biblia – and recognizes the essential plurality of the scriptures, namely that the Bible is a library containing some 66 books, written in several different languages, in a variety of literary genres and types (narrative, poetry, drama, prophetic oracles, biographies, letters and so forth) over a period 1 G.F.

  • Can the Pope Or Bishops Restrict the Latin Mass?
    Can the pope or bishops restrict the Latin Mass? Question: Do Pope Francis or our bishops actually have authority to restrict the Latin Mass? The Council of Trent codified the Latin Mass from earlier liturgies, approving the Roman Missal used from 1570. Pope Benedict also taught in Summorum Pontificum that the pre-Conciliar Mass could not be suppressed. — Kevin Brehmer, Toledo, Ohio Answer: This is a complex issue that includes both liturgical and canonical considerations. Arguably, the older form of the Mass in use before 1962 cannot be abrogated — that is, it cannot be declared to be invalid or illicit to celebrate. It is an ancient form of the Mass extending back some 1,500 years; far older than the norm established by the Council of Trent, which forbade the suppression of a rite or form of the Mass older than 200 years. Hence it would seem that any priest can use this form of the Mass. That said, a diocesan bishop is the moderator of the sacred liturgy in his diocese. As such, he can establish norms for the public celebration of holy Mass that regulate when and where variations of the holy Mass can be celebrated. For example, beginning in 2015, the Anglican Use of the Roman rite was approved for celebration in the Church. But that did not mean that every parish could use this rite (which is much like the Traditional Latin Mass, but in English). Rather, the bishop could designate places and priests which or who could licitly celebrate this form of the Mass. This is what bishops do.

  • Anglicans Entering Catholic Church Should Blend Well, Cardinal Says
    Anglicans entering Catholic Church should blend well, cardinal says KINGSTON, Ontario – Groups of Anglicans entering into communion with the Catholic Church will not absorbed the way “a teaspoon of sugar would be lost in a gallon of coffee,” said Cardinal William Levada, prefect for the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith. Instead, Anglicans will provide a distinct sound within the church, the way the different instruments in an orchestra blend in a symphony, Cardinal Levada told a fundraising dinner for Catholic Christian Outreach and the Queen’s University Newman Center March 6. “People long for discordant tones to be harmonized, united,” he said. “And when an individual or, indeed, a community, is ready for unity with the church of Christ that subsists in the Catholic Church, it would be a betrayal of Catholic ecumenical principles and goals to refuse to embrace them, and to embrace them with all the distinctive gifts that enrich the church, that help her approach the world symphonically, sounding together or united.” Pope Benedict XVI’s historic offer for groups of Anglicans to enter into full communion with the Catholic Church is “the logical outcome” of 45 years of ecumenical dialogue, Cardinal Levada. The Vatican’s offer came November 9 with the publication of Pope Benedict’s apostolic constitution “Anglicanorum Coetibus” (“Groups of Anglicans”) along with specific norms governing the establishment and governance of “personal ordinariates,” structures similar to dioceses, for former Anglicans who become Catholic. Cardinal Levada described the apostolic constitution as “one of the fruits” developing out of the statements issued by the Anglican Roman Catholic International Commission – commonly known as ARCIC – on the Eucharist, ministry and ordination, and authority.
