Lib It Up Fridays

 

Lib It Up Fridays, a whole new series, and because we've been fasting, it's Friday, we might be able to stomach what follows. Or not. I present to you, the reader, Sarah Mullally, the new Archbishop of Canterbury. Behold.

Sic transit Saepius Officio, apostolic succession in the Church of England. Like wow, top libwork, COE. Are there other libs out there, raging libs, demented libs, lying libs, insane libs, revolutionary libs? Sure there are, but here at the Compound we give Mullally a sturdy 8 out out 10 Lib Points for middle management rainbow woke wreckery of a once venerable part of the Church. Apostolicae Curae, anyone? More to follow, many more.

Lib it up,

LSP

Aposticae Curae - Saepius Officio

 

Do you remember Leo XIII's 1890s Bull Apostolicae Curae, proclaiming Anglican Orders "null and void" due to defective form and intent? Sure you do, but you may have forgotten the unofficial reply of the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, Saepius Officio, written in Latin. (sorry, can't find text online)

Regardless of the merits of Temple and Maclagan's argument, and I think it's strong in its context, can you imagine such a document being written today by the COE's hierarchs? Of course you can't, it's unthinkable. All this to say nothing of the current wickedness enthroned in Rome. Behold, gentlemen and women, devolution. We just ain't so smart as what we used to be. Perhaps getting rid of the DOE will help.

The tall one front row

In happier news, Sgt. LSP called yesterday to announce 1. He's reenlisting and wants to fill out a Drill packet  2. Engaged 3. Fiance getting baptized 4. Is now a Knight of Columbus who, curiously, thinks some Anglican Orders valid. What can we say?

Laus Tibi Domine,
