In a recently published book liberal Cardinal Francesco Coccopalmerio, president of the Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts, claims that the Anglican orders are not invalid, writes The Tablet.
Coccopalmerio contradicts Leo XIII's bull Apostolicae curae (1896), which declares that they are “absolutely null and utterly void”.
Coccopalmerio instead claims: “We have had, and we still have a very rigid understanding of validity and invalidity: this is valid, and that is not valid. One should be able to say: ‘this is valid in a certain context, and that is valid in another context'.” These words imply that the sacrament of ordination has no value in itself, and amount to a denial of this sacrament.

CONGREGATION FOR THE DOCTRINE OF THE FAITH
With regard to those truths connected to revelation by historical necessity and which are to be held definitively, but are not able to be declared as divinely revealed, the following examples can be given: the legitimacy of the election of the Supreme Pontiff or of the celebration of an ecumenical council, the canonizations of saints (dogmatic facts), the declaration of Pope Leo XIII in the Apostolic Letter Apostolicae Curae on the invalidity of Anglican ordinations.
15 Whoever denies these truths would be in a position of rejecting a truth of Catholic doctrine16 and would therefore no longer be in full communion with the Catholic Church.

The apostate Francesco Coccopalmerio with this also denies the real Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist which only occurs with a valid ordained Priesthood and with the real intention of the Church and believing what the Church has always taught. Anglican clergy are Invalid for defect of the form and defect of the intention.
If the Mass is offered using cheese and lemonade, it is invalid. If it is offered in the name of the Sustainer, the Nurturer, and the Goddess, it is invalid. If it is offered using a formula like "This is our body, which we give for each other", it is invalid. If the Church cannot accurately discern and judge that a rite used in Christian worship is invalid and void and non-sacramental, then she …More
If the Mass is offered using cheese and lemonade, it is invalid. If it is offered in the name of the Sustainer, the Nurturer, and the Goddess, it is invalid. If it is offered using a formula like "This is our body, which we give for each other", it is invalid. If the Church cannot accurately discern and judge that a rite used in Christian worship is invalid and void and non-sacramental, then she has no right to judge anything else. Her ability to judge is indivisible and one.
The Cardinal is trashing the Church's past practice, in order to shore up the novelties of the present. Why ? And if the past can be trashed, why should not future generations in their turn trash the Church of 1965 to 2017 ? He is reducing Catholicism to Anglicanism, and liberal, emasculated, faithless Anglicanism at that.
The Cardinal is confusing sacramental grace with the wholly different question of whether grace other than that of the sacraments is conferred despite the invalidity of a sacramental rite. The Bull of 1896 is concerned solely with whether Anglican Orders are invalid or not - there is no hint that because they are indeed invalid, therefore, no grace of any kind is conferred.

In the north of Argentina, an aborigine says to you: “I’m Anglican.” But the bishop is not here, the Pastor is not here, the Reverend is not here . . . “I want to praise God on Sunday and so I go to the Catholic Cathedral,” and vice versa.

Maybe the good cardinal can also declare that he is God.

This is a lot of gobbledygook by a liberal modernist cleric. You cannot refute Leo XIII's encyclical stating Anglican Orders are null and void. PERIOD.
