  I know this seems a lot of books, but you be surprised, one subject interelates with another. I like interdisciplinary methods of researching theology. It seems to me, and Br. Andre, I like to know your opinion, that the Novus Ordo and Protestant rites of baptism and holy orders are very suspect, or possibly invalid. This is very serious, I know, but there seems to be a positive and prudent doubt in the praxis, because of liturgical abuses mostly, and evolution of creativity. Does the SBC have a stance on baptism and holy orders? Do you rebaptize converts from Anglicanism? How about those who have been baptized in the Vatican II Rites? I would ask would the SBC allow priests baptized and ordained in the New Rites to say the Latin Mass for the Center? I know that the Byzantine Greek Orthodox are very strict on baptism! The Orthodox Christian maintain complete immersion to ensure a valid baptism, I guess they don’t hold Baptism of Desire? I think they reject the Novus Ordo Baptism?

  I know, tough questions, right? But, “Let us Praise the Lord” that we have the proper understanding on grace, sacraments, and moral theology to have a fruitful discussion.

  Lastly, if you have your A-list of books on these matters, please list them or better yet- share some book reviews.

  Thank you!

  I like to cite some key works on these matters, and please share any with me your knowledge and scholarship on what to read, esp. books on the Nature and Efficacy on Grace and the Sacramental Economia.

  Dear Adam,

  To answer your questions: It would border on insanity to question the validity of the new rite of baptism. For good reason, the priests we work with often do conditionally baptize those being received from non-Catholic sects, as Father Feeney used to do. If someone had serious grounds to consider his baptism in a Catholic church invalid, that is a different question, but if the priest carried out the rite as approved by the Church, there is no question of its validity. We have had priests ordained in the new rite offer Mass for us. We are not sedevacantists, and we don’t believe in the idea that Christ has allowed the Church to fall into complete sacramental impotence.

  I hope this is clear.
