Résumé : |
When Archbishop Fisher spoke of his forthcoming visit to the Pope in the Church Assembly on 10th November I960, he indicated that the conversations would not be kept secret. Yet when the meeting took place nothing was disclosed. [The Guardian, 11th November and 2nd December 1960]
When it is asked what place the Pope would have in a United Church, Archbishop Ramsey says that this need not be settled until such a church is being formed. [The Gospel and the Catholic Church, p 226] When the Queen was received by the Pope on 5th May 1961, she wore a black dress and veil, yet Queen Fabiola of Belgium, a Catholic monarch, did not dress in this way for a similar reception. She wore white - like all Catholic Queens. No explanation was given in England but Catholic countries took this as a sign of Protestant penitence. In the 'Service of Reconciliation' [a prototype for other reunion services] outlined in the Anglican-Methodist Report it is proposed that each ministry receive the other by the laying on of hands ... 'Then shall the bishop lay his hands on the head of each of the Methodist ministers in silence'. No explanation is given why such an act is needed, but it effectively serves to cover the Anglo-Catholic contention that episcopal ordination is necessary to a valid ministry. This is the ecclesiastical spirit of the time in which we live. It is why a book like Unity in the Dark is needed. |
