| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Ceadda |
 | | As Canterbury was vacant, he was consecrated by Wini of Worcester, assisted by two British bishops. |
 | | When he further intimated that St. Chad's episcopal consecration had not been rightly performed, the Saint replied, "If you decide that I have not rightly received the episcopal character, I willingly lay down the office; for I have never thought myself worthy of it, but under obedience, I, though unworthy, consented to undertake it". |
 | | All accounts of his life are based on that given by Venerable Bede, who had been instructed in Holy Scripture by Trumberct, one of St. Chad's monks and disciples. |
