How terribly sad. Yes, this is the logical road of radical (as opposed to accidental) sedevacantism.

"How terribly sad. Yes, this is the logical road of radical (as opposed to accidental) sedevacantism."

This bishops-less situation nearly happened to the true(aka genuine) Orthodox Church of Greece. The true Orthodox in Greece, known for their asceticism and sanctity (e.g. St. Nicholas Planas of Athens and Protomartyr of the Old Calendar, St. Catherine of Attica), began without bishops. By the Grace of God, they barely managed to get bishops. But then the episcopate could not manage to stay united. Today, the Greek Old Calendar Orthodox are terribly fractured. It's a sad situation. The definitive history, to this date, is still THE STRUGGLE AGAINST ECUMENISM. It's available in a numnber of libraries as well as from the HTM and the St. Nectarios Press in Seattle.
