By allowing himself to be blessed by the Archbishop, Francis implicitly shows that he recognizes the validity of Anglican orders. This is against Pope Leo XIII's declaration in Apostolicae Curae in 1896.

More Protestant blessings!

A simple act of humility should not be misconstrued.

I wonder if he blessed him in his capacity as an Anglican, or as a Druid priest?

Cardinal O’Malley has baptism “reaffirmed” by Methodist minister

The ecumaniac disease has become rampant in the highest offices of the Church.

I have observed that some people feel insulted if you say you'll pray for them. (Not always, but often enough so I noticed.) They feel that it's an act of arrogance to give a prayer or blessing; they think the blesser or pray-er is implying that he or she is a spiritual superior, and the recipient a spiritual inferior.

In other words, that the person saying "I'll pray for you" is also saying under their breath, "...you moral retard."

It puzzles me, as I have always felt grateful if a person said they'd pray for me. Even a person of a different religion: I think, "Well, I don't believe as you do, but I know you mean well."

Am I wrong?

Wow, Protestants are fast running out of people they can count on.
