The author of "Bishops at Large" was Peter Anson. The book is long out of date, but still hilarious if you enjoy religious pathology.

Dear Andrew, (Never mind, Amado!  ) Back to you, Andrew . . . I knew an Anglo-Catholic minister by the name of "Charles" who dedicated his home chapel to King Charles the Martyr. He even had a little sign put on the door in honour of the patron, "Charles K.M." His sexton came by and in conversation with him indicated that that title referred to the minister himself. "How so," he asked. To which the sexton replied, "I thought it meant "Charles, Katholick Minister!" Back to work . . . Alex

I find your story highly suspicious Alex as every Anglo-Catholic priest I know of would respond to the sexton's inquiry with a quick Biretta smack to the head or backside if referred to as a mere "Minister".
Perhaps though beforehand he had looked at his Kalendar to see it was the feast day of Our Lady of Clemency.
Who can say.
Andrew

Dear Andrew, Well, the story was written up in an edition of the newsletter of the British Society of King Charles the Martyr! They recently published an article of mine on the ties between Charles I and Orthodoxy . . . Perhaps some Anglo-Catholics are more understanding of their parishioner's still Protestantized sensibilities than you give them credit for? Alex

Hello.
It's my understanding that Old Catholic priests or bishops in Europe whose orders came from the Utrechter Church and stayed within their communities (Swiss Church, Austrian Church, German Church, etc) were still considered valid by Rome.
I don't know if this stll happens, as the so called Old-Catholic sect in Europe has approved the ordination of women and so on.
The Old-Catholics from this continent are different because they were never able to reach any unity. They established ties with Episcopalians whose orders were invalid, they consecrated many bishops doubtfuly so it's assumed that the sacraments and orders deriving from these sects and their vagant countrerparts are invalid and devoid of grace.
The Roman Catholics here receive those who had been christened by "irregular" and "old catholic" churches by Baptism.

it's incredible when some of these long standing groups start going bye byes up in the head, but I guess it's part of the Hegelian process of History. someone mentioned the Liberal Catholic Church. One author said that this group had a "wierd mixture" of Catholicism and Theosophy for their theology. thought I'd metion. Much Love, Jonn
