After returning from Italy, but before her conversion to Catholicism , Elizabeth Ann Seton relates that whilst attending the Eucharist in her local Protestant Episcopal parish in New York, she would often direct her prayers to the Catholic parish which she could see from the window. She stated that she knew that Jesus was truly present Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in the tabernacle of that Catholic church, and it gave her great comfort.
Whilst always grateful and appreciative of her Christian formation in the Protestant Episcopal Church, despite being rejected by New York Episcopalians after her conversion, it was obvious she doubted the validity of anglican/ episcopal Holy Orders, and hence her conversion to the Catholic Church.
@@AlanRimmer Actually, the blasphemy consists in bringing Elizabeth Ann Seton, a Catholic saint who rejected the validity of Anglican orders long before Pope Leo XIII in Apostolicae Curae declared Anglican orders as “absolutely null utterly void,” into a homily at an invaild protestant “Mass” attempting to celebrate the Catholic feast of Corpus Christi. How do you justify the 39 articles of Anglican religion one of which states that the Eucharist , “ shall not be lifted up nor carried about?”
Episcopal churches at that time wouldn’t have kept the consecrated elements in any tabernacles or aumbries, so this story doesn’t so much mean St Elizabeth didn’t believe Episcopalian orders were valid, only that there wasn’t a tabernacle to direct her attention to in her local church at that time.
@@arayne9080 Yes, you are correct Episcopalians at the time did not keep the “ reserved sacrament“ but Elizabeth Ann Seton, according to her own words, was attending an Episcopalian Communion Service .One would expect her prayers and attention would be focused there. Yet, her prayers were directed to the Catholic church where because of her exposure to Catholicism in Italy , she knew that Christ was truly present, body, blood, soul and divinity in the tabernacle. As I stated previously, if she believed that the Anglican/Episcopal Communion had valid sacraments and she could find the Real Presence of Christ there, even in Holy Communion, she would have remained a member of the Protestant Episcopal Church. Instead, at a great personal cost, she eventually converted to Catholicism.
