  • What's it about? It plays very slow and broken up for me.

  • In the video (which I watched in bits and pieces until I got to that part), retired bishop Telesphorus Mpundu of Zambia consecrated Bishop Ward.

    I have to wonder what questions this is going to raise, in that Mpundu was presumably consecrated in the post-V2 rite by a bishop who was consecrated the same way.  Moreover, he was ordained a priest in 1972, again, presumably in the new rites.

    Per Wikipedia, Mpundu incurred latae sententiae excommunication for consecrating Ward.  Got to wonder how this is going to play out.

    It seems to be playing fine. Maybe too many people were playing it? I wouldn’t know.

    It’s worth a listen. It is about a lot more than what you state here!

  • Yes because we were lacking Thuc line bishops.

    We're up now from 400 of them to 401. Progress people, progress....

    Mozilla was way choppy, but Chrome it worked fine for me. 

    Thanks for posting Gabriella.

    Mpundu is not a Thuc-line bishop.  So far as I am aware, he was ordained a priest, and consecrated a bishop, within the mainline post-Vatican II framework.  I would expect the usual debate about the validity of post-Vatican II orders, which he would possess even if he consecrated Bishop Ward using the traditional ordo.
