BR. BUGNOLO: THE SACKING OF STRICKLAND IS AN ACT OF SCHISM WITH THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

Even a pope is automatically excommunciated if he commits the crime of ecclesiastical schism, which consists in refusing communion with members of the Church.
This crime is even greater, when a pope refuses communion with a legitimate and Catholic member of the hierarchy.
But sacking a Bishop without cause and for no crime other than being a Catholic is the worst crime of refusing communion.
Therefore, the act whereby Pope Francis attempted to sack Bishop Strickland of Texas is an act of schism, which has ipso facto merited Pope Francis the penalty of excommunication leveled in Canon 1364.
