When MightyMouseMarcel defied the Holy See and ordained Bishops, he excommunicated himself.

The paperwork followed in due course.

Were BlackElk to be running a Church, it's not likely I'd join it--he's not much for musica sacra.

And your post consists of thought fragments, generally. You can do better if you intend to be a thoroughgoing schismatic.

"You can do better if you intend to be a thoroughgoing schismatic."

Being truly "in communion" with the NO Church will require going to Protestant churches and praying with heretics with my bishop on St. Patrick's Day. Or maybe adopting teenage boys with my bishops approval when he knows I'm going to do unmentionable acts with them will be better suited so I can claim to be obedient to my bishop. Or I can build a Jewish/Catholic camp where both can pray together, after all, both covenants are valid. Heck, why be Catholic at all, when I can remain in Christ's Church by being a Jew is perfectly justifiable to my bishop. Or parading down the street with 100's of "Catholic" queers, my parish's banner, and my bishop's approval will suffice to lift the stigma of being "schismatic"? Our local parish this year also welcomed charismatics with all their goofy antics. Point being, I must at least tacitly accept these events as they are authorized/approved by my bishop else I become a nasty schismatic, disobedient, pope-basher, etc. These are my alternatives, as my bishop will not allow a Traditional Mass (or rarely, and then in a hotel meeting room). So what will you have me do? What will it take to appease you, BE, and my bishop?
