It is irresponsible to revert a whole article after many changes have been made just because one thing is disagreed with.
The "Dominican Order" is more accurately termed the "Order of Preachers" (O.P.) That should at least be the initial mention in the article.
Bishop Guerard, consistent with his belief that the changes were not legitimate, believed that these were merely changes taking place in the Church. It is not accurate to say that he considered "the Church", as a Divine institution, taking an illegitimate direction.
It is not appropriate to say "known as" sedevacantism because Bp. Guerard did not promote that newly invented word. That is why "(see sedevacantism)" is apropos there. If you are going to write about someone, you have to write the facts in accord with what that person would agree with as the facts. I have read most of Bp. McKenna's CATHOLICS FOREVER newletters, and he repeatedly explained these matters in accord with the thinking of Bp. Guerard, his consecrator and fellow member of his religious Order.
Bp. Guerard founded no such "school" as "sedeprivationism". It is not a school at all, nor did he promote that newly invented word. He merely applied the reasons and principles of philosophy to the cause and effect of heresy and published it as a thesis. Some insignificant Catholic "apologist" named Morgan, from a small hamlet in England, made up the word "sedeprivationism". What Bp. Guerard created was an explanation, not a whole ISM, nor a school. It is absurd to create an IST and ISM out of every new argument of reason. For instance, the Church never decided whether souls in purgatory can pray for us or not, and allows us to believe either way. Should we create two different IST/ISMs based on this? The absurdity is obvious. (And, by the way, every IST does not have an ISM - I may be a motorist or pianist, but there is no such thing as motorism or pianism).
Lastly, I changed the date of Bp. McKenna's consecration. It was wrong.
