Put your hands on your ears, right?

Card. Mahoney isn't a schismatic, so are you going to worship every word out of his mouth, or Bishop Thomas Gumbleton for that matter?

I've read all these arguments and these non sequiturs before - and the recommended remedy is always: commit the mortal sin of schism!

No sale.

As a Roman Catholic, the only word I worship is the Incarnate Word.

Gumbleton and Mahony will pay the price for their misrule in due time and this fake bishop will pay the price for his as well.

Both Mahony and Pivarunas assault the Body of Christ even though they both know that what they are doing is evil.

One is no better than the other.

False dichotomy. There are more than two options than "worship" every words out of the mouth of the most heteredox Catholic in communion with the Church vs. ignore every word out of the mouth of a schismatic.

Cardinal Mahoney is not infallible or even usually right just because he's in communion with the Church.

However a Schismatic is basically a Protestant in Catholic clothing, and hence what they have to say about what is "true" Catholicism can automatically be discarded like garbage.
