I agree, issue a decree of excommunication for all of their Clergy and adherents, put them in the same boat as the “Womyn Priests” and let it sink.

“I agree, issue a decree of excommunication for all of their Clergy and adherents,...”

Since when did holding the same beliefs as and worshiping God in the same way your ancestors did, become an excommunicable offense?
I suppose you could dig up the bodies of all the Catholics who died before 1970 and hold their Canonical trial at the same time as the SSPXers. If it was good enough for Pope Liberius, it should be good enough for them.
Think of all the paper that you could save by putting all of them on the same decree. That should make all of the greenie liberals among you happy.
There are quite a few bishops, who are bastions of orthodoxy, who might be happy to preside over such a trial. Mahony, Weakland, Hunthausen, and Trautman immediately come to mind but I am sure that there are many others.

So which is it?
But, but, but THEY are “Extra Ecclesia”!!!
If so, when did that happen and who did it happen to?
or:

So if you want them now "kicked out", you must concede they are still "in", right? More, what 'crime' have they committed that desrves the ultimate penalty?
