            There is one printing of this from TAN in Rockford IL, a reprint
    of (I gather) a 1955 work. It looks like a useful source for
    pre-Vatican II RC theology. Interestingly, one of the documents it
    contains is the Athanasian Creed.

            I'm enough of a book junkie that maybe I'll pick this up at some
    point. In the meantime, can you give any more exact details of the
    source of this statement? Is it a conciliar statement or what?

            Understand that I'm not arguing with the statement itself. It
    would be nice to find that Rome agreed with what is often seen as an
    idiosyncratic Lutheran idea. But in this case I'd surprised.

    Shalom,

    George
