Episcopal Consecrations, et al

It's been a busy weekend! After engaging in the rather cathartic, yet also deeply disgusting job of cleaning out our mini-pond in the back yard (the previous owners let it sit stagnant all winter - it had collected thousands of leaves and about 2 inches of green much on the bottom), there was much reading and writing that took place.

The first and most controversial essay deals with the new Rite of Episcopal Consecration, contra Fr. Anthony Cekada's tract on the same subject. Read Nothing Lacking for Validity: A Response to Rev. Anthony Cekada

The second is part two of Jonathan Field's mult-part series on Mary as Mediatrix, viewed from a Trinitarian perspective. Read Mary as Mediatrix of Grace: A Trinitarian Approach (Part 2)

And finally, the third essay is on the underlying or "double" meaning behind the death of Judas. Some fun surprises in this one! Read Double-Meaning in the Death of Judas

Here's to clean ponds!
