B16 and History

Father Z's posting this morning on So a Pope and an Archbishop Walk Into an Abbey... made me smile.  I love history.  Heck, I majored in it.

Father tells us that when the Pope and the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams processed down the aisle of Westminister Abbey, the Pope was wearing a stole from Pope Leo XIII.

....yeah.....so?

So,  Pope Leo XIII was the Pope that declared that Anglican ordinations were invalid.

;-D

Everyone was applauding the true successor of St. Peter.  Don't you love just love history?
