Leo XIII And Anglican Orders (1912)

""Leo XIII and Anglican Orders"" is a historical book written by Charles Lindley Wood, published in 1912. The book explores the controversy surrounding the validity of Anglican orders, which arose in the late 19th century. Pope Leo XIII issued a papal bull in 1896, declaring that Anglican orders were ""absolutely null and utterly void."" This decision caused a great deal of controversy and debate within the Anglican and Catholic churches.The book provides an in-depth analysis of the historical, theological, and legal arguments that were presented on both sides of the debate. Wood examines the origins of the Anglican church and its relationship with the Catholic church, as well as the theological differences between the two churches that led to the dispute over Anglican orders.Wood also discusses the legal implications of the papal bull and its impact on the Anglican church. He examines the reactions of Anglican leaders and theologians to the decision, as well as the efforts made by some Anglicans to reconcile with the Catholic church.Overall, ""Leo XIII and Anglican Orders"" provides a comprehensive and insightful look at one of the most significant controversies in the history of the Anglican and Catholic churches. It is a valuable resource for scholars, theologians, and anyone interested in the history of Christianity and the relationship between different denominations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
