"There are no Saints who lead a protest against a Bishop."

Firstly, the past tense of the verb "to lead" is "led." I only bring this up because you have made that mistake several times, which leads me to believe that you don't know how to spell "led."

Secondly, this matter of "leading" is a straw man, which has nothing to do with the issue at hand.

"Moore said clearly, "Henry VIII is wrong."

Just as these parishoners said clearly, "This priest and this bishop are wrong." The Church herself clearly holds that the laity have a perfect right to do just that.

"Beckett exercised his office and angered those in power, again no protest."

His actions were a protest.

"In both these cases the authority was not a Bishop, licitly seated."

So, you didn't bother to read the paragraph in my last note where I dealt with that?

"The Bishop is not a Heretic"

Sure he is.

"Sponsoring a protest is counter productive. That is indeed a statement of fact."

No, it's not. There are circumstances under which it is counterproductive, and others under which it is productive. Completely separate from the issue of productivity, there are times when it is an absolute moral duty.

"You are full of beans is hardly an insult. In this case it is a statement of fact."

Childish mud slinging.

Christ taught us NOT to turn the other cheek, instead we should hold a protest. Thats the way to get what you want, oppose the Bishops of the Church and protest them into obedience to the will of the people who are more Catholic than they are.
