[lawsuit filed against Catholic "St. Stanislaus Corp"]

Okay Catholics, help me out here. The fight is over ownership of the actual property, so from the archdiocese's POV, St Stanislaus (as property) can be said to be "Catholic". The parish as people is quite a different story, though.

Since the governing board of St Stanislaus and it's members are formally held to be in schism, does that mean that any and all parishioners are, too? Is there any appreciable difference between being "in schism" and being "excommunicated" (not including latae sententiae)?

It’s like the Balkans, everyone is guilty.
