No schism - stop funding. If a Bishop funding boycott was organized like the Stop Specter campaign, I just know we'd see results.

The shock value alone!!! LOL!

You're probably right. We could call it the BTB Campaign, Bork the Bishops! And after we Bork them, tradition holds we give 'em a good, swift kick in jodphurs!

In my Archdiocese, the "Archbishop's Appeal" isn't voluntary. If the Parishes don't cough up their assigned $$, it comes out of the Parishes general operating fund.

Also, the 10% of our regular collections which already goes to the Archdiocese, has been upped to 15 or 20% to pay for "stuff". (I think that means sexual abuse lawsuits).
