Mr. Davies gives an impressive exposition <strong>of</strong> the facts and the meaning he attaches to them in the<br />
light <strong>of</strong> Trent, the Pontifical letter Apostolicae Curae <strong>of</strong> Pope Leo XIII, other <strong>of</strong>ficial documents,<br />
and also the Canterbury Declaration on Ministry and Ordination in the Anglican and Catholic<br />
Churches. He rightly rejects the latter completely as a totally ambiguous document.<br />
This is a rich and scholarly book which should be in the hands <strong>of</strong> all who study post-conciliar<br />
developments in the <strong>of</strong>ficial Roman Catholic Church, the Church <strong>of</strong> Christ.<br />
