Yes, Apostolicae Curae, issued by Pope Leo XIII in 1896, declared Anglican orders invalid. This does not impact the validity of Roman Catholic orders. The Catholic Church recognizes the validity of the sacrament of Holy Orders within its own tradition.
Protestant worship was in the local language. Catholic worship was in Latin. The protestant congregations sang hymns. The Catholic congregations did not. Since the Lutheran worship service was a translation of the Roman Catholic one before Trent, little difference existed there.
Roman Catholic AnswerThere is no such thing as "women's holy orders".
No, Roman Catholic religious orders are valid within the context of the Roman Catholic Church's beliefs and practices. They follow established rules, such as the Rule of St. Benedict or the Rule of St. Francis, and are recognized by the Church as legitimate institutions for spiritual formation and service.
Holy Orders is the sacrament through which a man is ordained as a deacon, priest, or bishop by the laying on of hands and prayer. This sacrament conveys a special grace and power to serve the Church and administer the other sacraments. It is one of the seven sacraments recognized by the Roman Catholic Church.
Holy Orders
The papacy challenged the authority of the Catholic Church. The Catholic Council of Bishops were displaced from dogmatic and doctrinal authority, to be replaced by the papacy instead. Conciliarism collapsed in 1517, causing schism within Catholic congregations still loyal to the Catholic Council of Bishops. Those who protested papal intervention into the sacred tradition of the Church, removing such tradition with dictoral authority from an individual rather than a council, created a Protestant movement among Catholic congregations. The papacy countered these Catholic congregations still loyal to the Catholic Council of Bishops with the Catholic Revival and Roman-Catholic Counter-Reformation. The Protestants were content with the sacred tradition of Catholicism and are often called "Old Catholics". The Reformation saw Catholicism as completely collapsed and in need of total Reform. The Evangelical Protestants and Reformed congregations competed theologically for the status of higher authority as more "true" doctrines to the intended faith as witnessed from the Bible.
