re: #75 MJ

Pope Benedict XVI has lifted the personal penalty of excommunication incurred by four schismatic bishops belonging to the Priestly Society of Saint Pius X

He is a schismatic bishop. A schismatic bishop is not a Catholic bishop. He was ordained a bishop by the leader of the Priestly Society of Saint Pius X and was excommunicated for it. SSPX is a splinter group of the church.

I know it might be hard for non Catholics to understand given the Catholic churches’ arcane hierarchy and rules. But being called a schismatic bishop is like being called a pretend bishop.

He is not a RC Bishop.
