Given the incoherence of Anglican doctrine on the Eucharist and Real Presence, which essentially leaves it up to the individual to decide if it is a holy sacrifice or a simple memorial, and the priest's formal and public apostasy signifying the intent not to consecrate as the Church teaches, I don't see how he could celebrate a valid Eucharist.

[REPANDPROUDOFIT]

Even more odd - In the parish where I grew up, , an Episcopal minister who was married and had three children, became a priest. Yes, he continued to have his family. ???

With God’s grace, even a priest can be saved.

It's pantomime, though sometimes extraordinarily well done as at St. Mary the Virgin in Manhattan or St. Clement's in Philadelphia. Imagine if Cecil B. DeMille were a liturgist . . . .

I disagree with the conclusion here. The minister needs the intent to do what the Church does when he celebrates.

If he has publicly broken with the Church, surely this demonstrates defect of intent which would make his act invalid.

The author has one bad habit! I wish she could curb it, even a little! I find it annoying! Can you guess what it is!

[Buckeye McFrog]

I would rather a Catholic Priest take the honest path and do this if he cannot reconcile his own beliefs with the Church. Rather than remain in the outward role of a Priest and continually undermine them.

We need to pray for all those who care for souls.

It astonishes me that an Episcopal bishop would WANT such a Catholic priest! I suppose it is possible that questioning a Church discipline can lead a priest to question and then abandon Catholic doctrine, but so many of the most famous cases are plainly the result of a refusal to abandon sin (Alberto Cutie, Jim McGreevey) or being kicked out (Matthew Fox).
