Anglican Dean of Sydney Reverend Phillip Jensen has spoken out strongly against Catholic doctrine at the same time as defending government support for the upcoming World Youth Day event.

In an article in The Sydney Morning Herald Phillip Jensen, the brother of the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney, said the nature of Protestanism was to protest against Roman Catholic claims to authority.

“We object to the Pope claiming to be the Vicar of Christ. We reject all claims to authority that imply the insufficiency of scripture. We reject any implication that Jesus’s work on the cross was insufficient or is received by more than faith or requires some other mediator,” Reverend Jensen said.

It sounds like this man just want some of the WYD spotlight. I suppose all of the excitement and preparation for WYD made him feel a little left out, so he had to get a “controversial” comment into the papers to get some attention.
 
Talk about people who live in glass houses throwing stones! These are just some of the things in the news during the past SEVEN days which concern the utter chaos of the ecclesiastic structure of Aglicanism and its implosion:

He defended the event, as well as state and federal governments that have contributed more than $120 million to help stage July’s World Youth Day.

“It is perverse to think that the Government is helping promote Roman Catholicism by assisting World Youth Day as they are. If this were the world Jehovah Witness day or the world yoga conference, the government support would be the same,” he said.

He does sound confused, or is it just me.
 
According to the article Sydney Anglicans in Indopedia:
Sydney has opposed women’s ordination, but its Calvinist and Reformed theology places a much lower emphasis upon the Eucharist, which is celebrated far less often during church than in other dioceses. Moreover, the whole system of Catholic order is in the process of being questioned within the Sydney diocese, with the three-fold order of Deacons, Priests and Bishops being largely ignored in practice. Because of this, Lay presidency is being seriously considered, whereby the Lord’s Supper (an evangelical term for the Eucharist) could be celebrated by Deacons and even unordained church members.

About Dean Jensen himself, Indopedia says this:
In 2003 Peter Jensen appointed Philip Jensen as Dean of St Andrew’s Cathedral in Sydney, a move many considered nepotism. Media reports seem to indicate that Philip Jensen’s radical style and unorthodox antics - he has discarded the traditional vestment, put the “altar” (actually communion table) on wheels, and scaled back the choir performances - has alienated the mostly traditionalist congregation of the Cathedral. Nevertheless, Philip continues preaching in the heart of Sydney at St Andrews Cathedral.

Whatever he says should be disregarded as heretical nonsense by Catholics and Anglo-Catholics alike.
 
Remember the last time the Anglican Church decide to do an indepth inlook into the history of the Church and affirm and prove to the world that the Anglican church is really the church of Christ?

Well for those that don’t know, read the oxford movement:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_Movement

Many of their key figures became Catholic, including one of the greatest Cardinals the UK ever had, Cardinal Newman, he was an anglican prior to being Catholic. This goes to show, when people actually do an indepth look into church history, it’s not difficult to see where exactly apostolic succession comes from and how it was continued throughout history.

Maybe someone should remind the good reverend.

…blah, blah, blah…:yawn:

I object and reject his old, worn out, tired arguments that we have dealt with time and time again… It’s not our fault they don’t get it.

I attended a Marian Conference in Pittsburgh many years ago. One of the speakers was a Catholic Abbott who had converted from Protestantism. He came from a long line of Protestant ministers and when he began studying for the ministry he looked into Catholicism and determined that “by golly, the Catholics are right”.

Precisely, so many who have sat down and looked through history can find out which is correct, but many don’t wish to. I don’t entirely blame them however, history is not everyone’s strong point.

Jimmy Akin was a former protestant, now he is a brilliant Catholic Apologist.
 
Wasn’t it also St. Paul who was the one who vehemently persecuted the new christians, to the extent of overseeing their executions? But then, he became a great man of God?

This seems to be a recurring theme, myself included. I used to think catholics were crazy…until I read the history.

How is that noteworthy, though ? His position is anything but an unusual one - the surprise would be for his belief to be any different.​

Hmmm. Where have I heard the “anything but unusual” statement before? Seems to come up quite a bit in your postings.😉

Maybe that the Anglican church is about to implode? It would seem that at a minimum their church is in upheaval and unraveling. Much strife is apparent, as well as much dissension.

As to the original post that began this…it would seem that the fellow in Sydney…was merely making noises to get his moment in the news. Nothing new, nothing new at all. SOS/SSDD:eek:
