Does Rome Still Believe in Schism? – Episcopal Consecrations #7

About this episode

The episode explores the modern understanding of schism and the treatment of groups outside the Church by Roman authorities.

Today in The Episcopal Consecrations , we take a striking turn in the discussion: what if the real crisis isn’t just about disobedience—but about a loss of the very meaning of schism? Fr. Loop examines how modern Roman authorities treat groups that historically would have been considered outside the Church, from Orthodox to Anglicans, and what that reveals about the current understanding of unity and authority. If those who reject papal primacy are treated as already “one” with the Church, what does that imply about doctrine, jurisdiction, and the papacy itself? This episode asks a provocative question: who is truly defending the unity of the Church today?
