**They all share one of two general backgrounds:

(1) A group of clergy and laity dissenting from the Church split off and found their own little group;

(2) A single priest leaves the Church and starts his own parish based on his own dissent.**

I would tend to agree with you here. I have one question, however.

Can the Bishop or Archbishop do anything about them if they use the word Catholic in their title?

Catholic just means universal and it is neither copyrighted nor trademarked.
