Excerpt from The Question of Anglican Orders: In Respect to a Vindication of the Papal Decision, Which Was Drawn Up by the English Roman Catholic Bishops at the End

During the last five years one of the largest and most important questions which the representatives of theological science have had to deal with has been the question of the Anglican hierarchy. SO numerous have been the works devoted to its discussion by scholars and publicists in England, Italy, France, and Russia, that a mere list of them would form a pamphlet of considerable dimen sions. The reason that the question has attracted so much attention lies in the fact that upon its solution in one direction or the other depends the solution Of the further question as to what Anglicanism essentially is, and what are its relations towards those Christian confessions of faith which look upon the Church's hierarchy as a Divine institution which must of necessity exist in unbroken order of succession in the Church of Christ in every period of her existence - that is to say, to the end of the world and therefore as an institution without which the very existence of the Church of Christ is impossible.
