Primavera Mon, 02 Jun 2008 18:53:13 +0000 http://frdave.wordpress.com/?p=66#comment-3965 The Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith issued a detailed explanation of the Church in its "RESPONSES TO SOME QUESTIONS REGARDING CERTAIN ASPECTS OF THE DOCTRINE ON THE CHURCH" on June 29, 2007. The text of this explanation may be found at the following web link: http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/documents/rc_con_cfaith_doc_20070629_responsa-quaestiones_en.html The question I have is this: since the Charismatic Episcopal Church (CEC) maintains that its Bishops and Priests are a part of the valid Apostolic Succession which has its origins in the Seat of Peter that also includes Rome (i.e., the Vatican), is the CEC a part of the Catholic Church, but Autocephalus, or is it an Ecclessial Community as Pope Benedict XVI described most other non-Roman Catholic "churches"? I am very interested in a response to this question given that I am a devout Catholic, but have a deep and abiding interest in CEC.

I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: 23I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. 24"Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. 25"Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. 26I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them."
