Fr. Anthony Cekada published a pamphlet against the New Rite of Episcopal Consecration called Absolutely Null and Utterly Void.
In it, he spent a great deal of time debunking Fr. Pierre-Marie's arguments that the New Rite is based on Eastern Rites and is therefore valid. Fr. Cekada scored a hit here, because he made a good case for the lack of comparison between the New Rite and the Eastern Rites.
Not a few Traditionalists have been perplexed by his pamphlet, but unfortunately, there has been very little written on the validity of the New Rite with which to counter Fr. Cekada's arguments.
I hope this new piece, Nothing Lacking for Validity, will be the beginning of a reversal of this imbalance.
