Maybe someone who goes to Saint Gertude's and who was at the consecration of Bishop Charles Mcguire can help answer a few questions I have about it?
The whole video is about 4 1/2 hours long but the relevant part can be found at: 2:15-2:35.
(Bishop Charles McGuire Consecration by Bishop Rodrigo de Silva)
Question #1: Who were the men sitting on the stools?
Question #2: Were they co-consecrators? (I noticed that they put their hands out for the imposition of hands when Bishop de Silva did and went to the altar and said with him the "Accipite" for the consecration.
Question #3: If they were bishops why did they wear black barretas and not wear the proper purple caps or mitres.
Question#4: If they were priests why did they do the imposition of hands and stand in as if they were bishops?
I don't mean to criticize anything done. I am just confused. I went to the Consecration of Bishop Zendejas and so I am a bit familiar with what is going on but couldn't quite figure this out and it keeps bothering me. Maybe I am just looking for too many answers to everything but I figured it was worth asking in case anyone might know the answers and save me from extreme puzzlement. 😅

Hi Rita, This is an excerpt from an entry from the Catholic Encyclopedia: URL: www.newadvent.org/cathen/04276a.htmNote the bolded words from the quote below. I didn’t know anything about this interesting question so thank you for your astute observational skills in the SGG consecration video.

Hi Rita, This is an excerpt from an entry from the Catholic Encyclopedia: URL: www.newadvent.org/cathen/04276a.htmNote the bolded words from the quote below. I didn’t know anything about this interesting question so thank you for your astute observational skills in the SGG consecration video. It definitely threw me for a loop and I was SO confused at first. Someone else yesterday shared a similar passage from the Catholic Commentary on the 1917 Code of Canon Law: archive.org/details/commentaryonnewc0004bachThank you for sharing your sources! I it good to see that some people are able to find out more than I could by myself and help clarify things. 😊
