to tell yourselves that you can embrace schism and yet be Catholic.

There you go again. There is no schism. Rome agrees.

You contend Rome agrees there is no schism? Then please explain what the Pope meant when he said:

c) In the present circumstances I wish especially to make an appeal both solemn and heartfelt, paternal and fraternal, to all those who until now have been linked in various ways to the movement of Archbishop Lefebvre, that they may fulfill the grave duty of remaining united to the vicar of Christ in the unity of the Catholic Church and of ceasing their support in any way for that movement. Everyone should be aware that formal adherence to the schism is a grave offense against God and carries the penalty of excommunication decreed by the Church's law.[8]

Or, in your view, is John Paull II not the key authority in Rome? Does someone else trump his judgment?

Dominus Vobiscum
