But, but, but THEY are “Extra Ecclesia”!!!If so, when did that happen and who did it happen to?
I agree, issue a decree of excommunication for all of their Clergy and adherents, put them in the same boat as the “Womyn Priests” and let it sink.So if you want them now "kicked out", you must concede they are still "in", right? More, what 'crime' have they committed that desrves the ultimate penalty?
It actually is both.
The Bishops are Excommunicated as of 1988 while the adherents are irregular, so (I concede) not technically outside the Church. With the possible exception of the Archdiocese of St. Louis.
Burke placed them either under interdict or pains of excommunication along with “A Call to Action” etc. I don’t recall which.
And in regards to the Extra Ecclesia Nulla Salus Controversy: Those were the Feenyites, and that issue came out of the 1950s and centered around the St. Benedict Center. That was reconciled in 1972 when Bishop Reilly and Fr. Schmaruk met with them.
They were not required to recant to be regularized.
A small group did break off and head North of the boarder to NH, but I believe they are SedVacantist.
