I saw this on the St. Alban's Episcopal Church Facebook page. I think that it has real wisdom attached to it.
Many priests too are now finding their own baptisms are "invalid" because many through the decades have used the wrong rite. And since you can't be a priest if you aren't baptized, none of the things they've done as a priest, weddings, last rites, communion, are "valid".I do not share this to mock the Catholic Church, I shared it because this is the time we as siblings need to step up and support them and come along side and share our common love of Jesus and be there for them.
This is not the time to judge their beliefs as "silly" or "insane", our siblings are having a very real crisis in their ranks and it's time for us as a global community of Christians, no matter our denomination, to really show we are a common family, ready to help when another's leaders have slipped.
So please don't attack the Catholic church at this time...Help your Catholic friends and family as their church figures this out.
