"...a person who rejects the supreme authority of the Holy Father over the universal Church is materially a schismatic. Only the person who knowingly and willfully refuses to submit to papal authority or of joining in communion with the Catholic Church subject to him is to be considered a formal schismatic."

That would be me and most of my ping list! :)

And mine. If/when (by the grace of God) there is a reunion, this may be a huge stumbling block. In the last 50 years or so it has been very popular to side step the issue. But as ecumenical talks progress, eventually it will have to be honestly dealt with.
