Null and Void: Cardinal Calls Anglican Service “Holy Eucharist”

gloria.tv | December 23, 2023

Cardinal Mario Grech spoke during an Anglican service at the Anglican Centre in Rome on 19 December, calling this invalid ceremony on Facebook "the Holy Eucharist".

During his talk ("homily") he served up a word salad on ecumenism and synodality, telling the audience that through baptism "all Christians" share in the "sense of the faith" ("Sensus fidei").

For this reason they should be listened to attentively, "regardless of tradition" [as long as this tradition is not Catholic].

For Grech, there can be no synodality without an "ecumenical dimension", which is true because both are on the same road to certain failure.

In the apostolic letter Apostolicae curae (1896), Leo XIII teaches that all Anglican ordinations are "absolutely null and void". Consequently, the same applies to the "Holy Eucharist" in which Grech participated.

Unfortunately, Bishop Williamson said something rather similar in July of 2016, to the great scandal of many. 

Bishop Williamson tells people that Anglicans possess some truth and some of “the true worship of God”. Here are his words (July 2016):

If you look for the truth, and you look for the true worship of God, you may find some of it in an Anglican Church. But you start talking to the minister, probably his principles are—most likely are—not completely true [emphasis - The Catacombs].

As discussed below, Bishop Williamson’s scandalous words are ecumenical and false for four reasons:

1. He is wrong that the Anglicans have any “true worship of God”; their worship can never please God because they are heretics and are outside the one True Church;
2. He is wrong and ecumenical for implicitly encouraging Catholics to participate in the false worship of these heretics;
3. He is wrong and ecumenical for saying that Catholics will find the truth in the (heretical) Anglican “church”; and
4. He is wrong and scandalous in saying that there is any possibility of Anglican ministers having principles which are “completely true”.
