Today in the Episcopal Consecrations, what actually happens during the

consecration of a bishop? Father Palco walks us through the ceremony, symbolism, and theology

of the right itself. You're going to have a bishop, you're going to have the assistant priest, his deacon, subdeacon,

the subdeacon crossbearer, the acolytes, the thoroughfare, and the other ministers that may be

there.

So he walks in, dressed in a white coat, a stole, and a roche.

And he's also already wearing the zuchetto, the purple zuchetto on his head.

And all the symbolism is there to show, you know, in a sort of hidden way, kind of a parable,

all of the, all of the beauties of and the great graces

that are coming through these, through these ceremonies.

apologetic standpoint? Or are we looking at this from kind of a catechetical, like learning what

this ceremony looks like? How did you want to approach this episode of understanding what the Episcopal

consecrations, any Episcopal consecrations look like?
