    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA The Provenance and Purpose of Personal Ordinariates Erected under the Auspices of the Apostolic Constitution Anglicanorum Cœtibus A DISSERTATION SubmiFed to the Faculty of the School of Canon Law Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctorate in Canon Law © Copyright All Rights Reserved By James Daniel Bradley Washington, D.C. 2017 The Provenance and Purpose of Personal Ordinariates Erected under the Auspices of the Apostolic Constitution Anglicanorum Cœtibus James Daniel Bradley, J.C.D. Director: Kurt Martens, J.C.D. The apostolic constitution Anglicanorum Cœtibus is a response to petitions from groups of Anglicans to be received into communion with the Holy See in a corporate manner. This dissertation examines the origin of such petitions, the development of the principles guiding the response, and an analysis of the legislation. Chapter One traces the origins of corporate reunion from Newman to the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council, in particular the Association for Promoting the Unity of Christendom and the Malines Conversations. Chapter Two discusses the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council with respect to ecumenism and Anglicanism. It examines the establishment of relations between Anglicans and the Holy See, the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC), and proposals for the corporate reunion of Anglicans in the Diocese of Amritsar, the United States, the Diocese of Matabeleland, and the United Kingdom. Chapter Three considers the overtures made by groups of Anglicans from 2005 to 2009. This includes the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA), Church of England bishops, and the Traditional Anglican Communion.

  • Noel Cox Introduction Ecclesiological Perspectives
    THE ORDINATION OF WOMEN AND THE UNITY OF THE CHURCH Noel Cox Introduction The recent votes in the General Synod of the Church of England on the election, ordination and consecration of women as bishops has brought to the forefront of popular discourse the question of the place of women, not just in the episcopate but also in ordained ministry of the church. However, aside from the commonly misinformed comments of the mass media, there was little popular reflection on this question, or indeed of the related question of how the church makes decisions. This is both unsurprising and unfortunate. This article will consider the question of the ordination of women, both as priests and as bishops, from the perspective of the broader issue of the unity of the church. In particular this will address the vexed issue of the nature of Holy Orders, and through this, the nature of the universal church. Ecclesiological Perspectives The ecclesiological distance between the Roman Catholic Church and the Anglican Communion is over more than just what may be seen as a technical question of the validity and recognition of Holy Orders. Differing attitudes to the ordination of women—whether concerned with the role of the priest as acting in persona Christi capitis, or other questions of theological tradition or theology—are resolved by appeal to revelation. The differences reflect a different attitude to tradition. But it is arguably the understanding of tradition and the meaning of catholicity that causes the question of the validity of Holy Orders to remain of vital importance in and to the Anglican Church, and which leads to a different approach to the ordination of women to the presbyterate and the episcopate.

  • Protestants and Vatican II's Nostra Aetate
    “Protestants and Vatican II’s Nostra Aetate (October 28, 1965)” Panel at St. Gerard’s Roman Catholic Church, Calgary 25 November 2015 Introduction I want to thank those who planned this event for including me and the Protestant perspec- tive in this panel. In a sense, Protestants were eavesdroppers at Vatican II. Yet, they benefited from it, and built upon the attitude and vision that it represented. Of course, it is impossible to speak for Protestants as a whole on any subject since they represent such a diverse phenomenon. That is true for my subject this evening, “Protestants and Vatican II’s Nostra Aetate.” Anglican Bernard Pawley drew attention to this back in 1962: “There is no such thing as a Protestant response to the Second Vatican Council, for ‘Protestantism’ does not represent ‘a homogeneous body of doctrine’” (Pawley 1962:22). There may be as many views as there are Protestants, and this fact makes Protestants somewhat different from Roman Catholics.”1 I will consider Vatican II’s Nostra Aetate mainly in relation to three Protestant groups, the Anglicans, the Presbyterians, and the United Church of Canada. One would expect Protestants to respond to Vatican II, to take account of it, because of its unprecedented magnitude and significance. “The final [16] documents of the council are the products of the largest committee in the history of the world.” They were the work of some 2,300 bishops from 116 countries. The meetings of the Council 2 were held for 10-week sessions in fall each year from 1962 to 1965.

  • The Viscount Halifax (Charles Lindley Wood) and the Transformation of Lay Authority in the Church of England (1865-1910)
    The Viscount Halifax (Charles Lindley Wood) and the Transformation of Lay Authority in the Church of England (1865-1910) By Ronald B. Young Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Sacred Theology The General Theological Seminary New York March, 2003 Reproduced by permission of the author on Project Canterbury, November, 2003. © 2003 Ronald B. Young Abstract The nineteenth century was a period of great change for the Church of England. The dominant liberal political ideology promoted a concept of increasing secularism. The end of political disabilities on non-Anglicans and the increase in the electoral franchise that accompanied the passage of the Reform Acts changed the operation and character of English political and ecclesiastical institutions. The Church of England increasingly was marginalized from the life of the nation. The Victorian and Edwardian Church of England struggled to adjust to these social, political, and religious developments. These factors forced a revolution in character and operation upon the Church of England. The existing parliamentary-ecclesiastical axes of authority lost both legitimacy and effectiveness. It was increasingly untenable for Parliament to remain the effective legislature for the Church of England. The Church of England struggled to define new models of authority and then revive and create new institutions for autonomous governance during the second half of the nineteenth century. A fundamental question in these developments was what was the proper role and authority for the laity in the governance of the Church of England. The definition and acceptance of new models of lay authority was an evolutionary process.
