Helped by articles in "The Times", "Apostolicae curae" was understood to mean that orders conferred in the Church of England were not, to the Pope, orders in the Roman Catholic sense. Anglican resentment began to abate. Vaughan's biographer comments that, "there would probably have been much more resentment had the Holy See declared in favour of Anglican orders and declared Anglican clergy 'massing priests'". Nonetheless Vaughan saw fit to publish "A Vindication of the Bull 'Apostolicae Curae': A Letter on Anglican Orders by the Cardinal Archbishop and Bishops of the Province of Westminster" in 1898.
