Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bishop Barlow and Anglican Orders: A Study of the Original Documents The Commission might, it would appear, have based its finding on other of these arguments or on both combined. But the Bull Apostolicae Curae, the result of their deliberations and of the advice which they gave to the Pope, did in fact base its decision solely upon the second or theological argument - an argument which was never put more clearly or succinctly than by Sancta Clara, the Franciscan writer in the time of Charles I, who first tried to prove that there was no essential opposition between the Thirty-nine Articles and the Council of Trent. 'All ordinations, ' he wrote, 'which are celebrated in a form different from the Church, with an intention sufficiently expressed of opposition to her sense, are invalid.' The historical argument, this other being alone amply sufficient for the purpose required, was not needed, and therefore no app was made to it in the Bull. It remained, of course, exactly as cogent and decisive as before. To omit to use an argument, when others are available which are sufficient without its use, is not to throw any doubt upon its efficacy and power. This, however, Anglican controversialists have never been able to see. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
