I have another angle to view this as this thread seems to be stuck in name calling. Bp. Duarte Costa of Brazil was excommunicated by name in 1946 (Vitandus). He claims that he was railroaded, but decided to make up his own Brazilian National Church. His initial bishop whom he consecrated was reconciled with John XXIII, given a Titular See and even participated in Vatican II, despite having a wife and kids. My question to you is if Salomão Barbosa Ferraz was able to help create a schismatic Church, teach heresy, break the ancient laws of celibacy and become legitimate in the eyes of the Post-Conciliar Church. Isn't it fair to say that the CMRI could wait for a Pope and be reconciled and be just a non-schimatic as Bp Ferraz?
