The 1988 Consecrations - A Theological and Canonical Study

What are the duties and powers of a bishop in a state of necessity? This small collection of studies answers the most pressing questions surrounding the episcopal consecrations of 2026, and does so in a concise and readable way. Questions answered in this book: What is a state of necessity? Can it be said that a state of necessity truly exists? What are the duties and powers of a bishop in a state of necessity? What is the solution to the problem created by the Pope saying no? What are the definitions of these juridical terms: excommunication (both latae sententiae and ferendae sententiae) and schism? And what is meant by the phrase "the law authorized by a state of necessity"? This book was originally produced to answer questions raised by the 1988 Consecrations. Every topic discussed and every question answered applies directly to what is happening right now. Understand the position of the Society of Saint Pius X and learn the theological and canonical framework that supports their work to save souls during this modern crisis.
