The reasons why so many Sedes have such a strong preference for the CMRI are many.

Some of the reasons are:

The CMRI priests are definitely valid, according to the mind of the Church.

They lack the scandal that has engulfed both the conciliar church and much of traditional Catholicism.

They are simply remarkably good priests.

Let's say that all you say here is true.

Is it questionable for the other sede congregations?

What would you say is the next best option?

Dear Seraphim, I will attempt to answer specifically the three questions you have just asked.

Dear Seraphim, you asked:

Quote

Question:

1) If you are going to be sede, why not Fr. Cekada, Sanbourn, Dolan, Pope Michael I, etc?

2) If you were to rank the various sede groups, how would you stack them in terms of most clergy?

3) How about in terms of most laity (if different)?

Answers:

1) To take just Michael I - he was elected by a conclave of a few laity, and which included members of his own family. :roll-laugh2:

2) The CMRI have one Bishop, Bishop Mark Pivarunas, and 32 Priests.

They also have many Brothers and Nuns.

The CMRI have the most clergy.

3) I would think that the CMRI would have the most laity. That seems a logical deduction to make.

I hope these answers help.

Sede-

What about groups overseas, like Palmar de Troya (may not have spelled that right)?

Are sedevacantist groups international, or strictly regional (i.e., due to smaller numbers?)?

Are there larger groups anywhere than the CMRI?
