As will appear from a glance at the subject matter of this volume, we have understood the essence of sacerdotalism to lie in a profound emphasis on priestly authority & on sacramental efficacy. The name is indicative of the system which exalts the office of the priestly hierarchy & the virtue of the rites supposed to depend for their valid administration upon that hierarchy. Contents: Roman Type: principle of ecclesiastical authority; papal absolutism; some features of the sacramental system; outlook for Roman sacerdotalism; Greek, Anglican & Other Types: Greek type, especially as represented in Russia; Anglo-Catholic movement; less important developments of sacerdotalism.
