SSPX Episcopal Consecrations 1988

[@auniversalwoman]

Wow thank you for posting this!

[@beardown851]

God Bless you Archbishop Lefebvre and Bishop De Castro Mayer for your heroic actions 🙏

What’s that piece playing at 19:29?

[@auniversalwoman]

Can you explain why their heads were bound? This is the first Episcopal consecration I've seen

[@JacobSnell1998]

In Catholicism, both the head and the hands are bound with linen wraps prior to anointing those body parts with chrism. If I remember correctly (it's been a long time) after the anointing of the head, they then sing the Veni Creator Spiritus as a prayer for wisdom for the Bishop(s)-elect. Hope that helps.

@@JacobSnell1998 I'm looking for the why? I understand the hand wraps when becoming a priest; consecrated hands that touch Our Lord. But why the head for bishops?

[@JacobSnell1998]

@@auniversalwoman The hand wraps had the same purpose. It had nothing to do with touching the bread and wine actually. They linen wrappings functioned similar to a coif or baptismal gown - they kept the chrism from dripping. The head wrap keeps the chrism from dripping to the floor or running down the face.

Thank you Archbishop Lefebvre!

Lefevre did not have permission from the Pope to do this, making it a schismatic act.

[@landonshanerthebanjokid5906]

He did though....the church was in a crisis (still is) an if he had not done what he had did. Things would probably be worse than what they are now. I have no doubt that once Rome returns to the faith that he will be proclaimed a saint. His own mother (who had the stigmata) said he would play a huge role in the church an would save it through the grace of God.

If JPII were Pope, you would certainly be right. But he was a public heretic, which according to Church teaching, severs a man from the Church. One cannot be head of that body of which he is not even a member. JPII was not a true Pope. Archbishop Lefebvre's consecrations were schismatic, though only by intention (not in fact, because he was disobeying a true Pope).

[@A._150]

How could he possibly ask a heretic for permission😂

[@Sancte_Benedicte]

That's not true. The 1983 code of canon law makes it very clear that a latae sententiae excommunication is not incurred on the consecrator or the consecrated if the person performing the consecrations believed it was out of necessity.

[@beardown851]

it was not a schismatic act he didn’t set up another jurisdiction and JP2 lied to lefebvre and tried to stall him out til he died Lefebvre did what he had to do
