On September 13, 1896 Pope Leo XIII published the Bull known as Apostolicae Curae in which he declared Anglican Orders 'absolutly null and utterly void'. The Anglican Archbishops of Canterbury and York delivered a 'Responsio' Saepius Officio, hotly contesting the judgements of the Bull. These documents have loomed over Anglican-Roman Catholic relations for the past century. In this book, experts from both Communions and from both sides of the Atlantic look again at Apostolicae Curae and reassess it in the changed circumstances of today. It also contains English translations of the original two documents.
