Because Bishops in every garage is totally sane, normal...
I agree with this. It's the natural fruit of episcopal consecrations without apostolic mandate. The "Resistance" is not far from that.
Gray2023, the 400 Thuc bishops estimate doesn't surprise me at all. I've seen a similar figure somewhere else. Just in Mexico, there are dozens I would say. Of course, that includes "bishops" whose only proof of descending from Archbishop Thuc is pretty much their own testimony, like "bishop" Pablo de Rojas (don't google him if you don't want to cringe).
