If one substitutes for "relationship" the word "communion" - then could have said: every Christian is in a real (though sometimes imperfect) communion with the Roman Catholic Church. One could say same thing not only about individual separated brethren but about their "churches or ecclesial communities". cf "The Theology of Vatican II' pp 124-134.
Butler, Basil Edward Christopher Rev OSB (1902-1986)Confidential: Theological issue relating to partial communion with Catholic Church. Matter to be put to two Australian theologians.
Clark, Alan Charles Rev DD (1919-2002)Gordon Wheeler's reply on the Common Bible: hope he makes the proposal as from the Liturgical Commission. Cardinal seemed favourable to it.
Butler, Basil Edward Christopher Rev OSB (1902-1986)Bp Clark's pamphlet on the Virgin Birth - thoroughly scholarly and enlightening. Like to see it published. The public's general obsession with sex means that there might be unfortunate effects with the treatment of "clauso utero" and "intactum hymen". Grateful for the personal help as after his conversion he was led to believe that unless he accepted the clauso utero he should have "made shipwreck of the faith".
BP Clark's sermon on TV this morning will have done a lot of good.
Right that the pamphlet on the Virgin Birth is not for CTS and will submit it to the Heythrop Theological Review, or similar. It is the virginal conception which is at issue.
Enjoyed "A Time to Speak".
Suggests several potential publications in which to place the pamphlet. The three Tablet articles are to be sent to members of ARCIC.
Butler, Basil Edward Christopher Rev OSB (1902-1986)Will try Theological Studies for the pamphlet. Good idea to send Butler's three Tablet articles to members of ARCIC. Working with Dick Stewart on the presentation for the Episcopal Conference [of England and Wales ECEW)]. Working on the pamphlet "The Virgin Birth" and hopes that he has not bitten off more than he can chew, but it will need much chewing before making it simpler.
Clark, Alan Charles Rev DD (1919-2002)Copies of articles sent to all ARCIC members. Like to see Tillard's paper on Priesthood and Ministry.
R [René] Lourentine's great study of the first two chapters of St Luke's Gospel hints that St Luke's information may have come to him, via the circle of which St John was the centre, from Our Lady. Impressed that while St Luke presents information representing her point of view, the infancy narratives of St Matthew is through the eyes of St Joseph.
Happy weekend ordaining and visiting at East Bergholt. The Virgin Birth pamphlet is nearing completion. Discussion about traditional arguments about the virgin birth not being apodictic but only suasive.
Clark, Alan Charles Rev DD (1919-2002)Herewith the manuscript of "The Virgin Birth". Feel might be overstretching my competency - hop not. May revise text after reading Laurentin which arrived this morning.
Clark, Alan Charles Rev DD (1919-2002)"... it is not strictly necessary for Our Lord to be born of a virgin. I am not sure that St Thomas doesn't make the point."
Read Laurentin before you finish the pamphlet.
manuscript ps: "I have now read your paper on Argument [? Agreement] in Faith. It is excellent and should have wider circulation. Many thanks."
Information passed between St Luke and St John. St Matthew's presentation is through the eyes of St Joseph. Odd that some consider St Luke to be quite independent of St Matthew
Butler, Basil Edward Christopher Rev OSB (1902-1986)Interested to hear how Dick Stewart disagrees with Bishop Butlers statements and what Bishop Clark feels he needs to forgive Bishop Butler for. Suspects that he was "'rocking the boat' - the unforgivable sin." Hopes Dick [Stewart] will do good in Rome. Suspects that Leslie Brown thinks Bishop Butler has broken with "Cabinet Solidarity" - "What I really think is that many people do not like my implied ecclesiology. I'm sorry they don't like it, because I am sure it is true!!"
Butler, Basil Edward Christopher Rev OSB (1902-1986)Letter about the problem of General Absolution - handled with great skill. In communications with Rome the Cardinal would like to be "in on whatever you submit". Has spoken to Eddie Matthews (teaches on the subject at the seminary) and shown your letter to Cardinal Knox.
Hume, George Basil Rev (1923-1999)
