Has This Happened Before? Consecrations without Permission - Episcopal Consecrations #9

About this episode

This episode explores the historical handling of episcopal consecrations in the Church and the nuances of papal mandates.

Today in The Episcopal Consecrations, we step back and look at the historical record. How has the Church actually handled episcopal consecrations throughout the centuries—and is the requirement of a papal mandate as absolute as many assume? Fr. Ian Andrew Palko walks us through the development of Church discipline, from the early Church to the modern era, and examines real cases of consecrations without papal approval. Some were clearly schismatic—but others were tolerated or even later accepted. What explains the difference? This episode brings clarity to a complex question and helps place the present situation in its proper historical context.
