Today on the Episcopal Consecration series, would consecrating bishops without Rome create a schism?

Father Loop answers this most serious question head on.

to the jurisdictions of the bishops we've created. Absolutely, it is just not at all parallel.

We are ready to remain faithful to our Lord Jesus Christ.

Even if that means we will have to suffer the false accusations of schism and disobedience.

None of this has been very light. It's all been very serious.

There is one.

Father Wiseman last week was talking about there is a state of necessity with liturgy.

We went kind of long, but very detailed on that whole issue.
