Italian diocese takes action against schismatic prelate
CWN - August 03, 2012

Bishop David Bell, an Irish cleric affiliated with the Roman Catholic Society of Pope Leo XIII, is a prime example of the confusing difficulties created by episcopi vagantes--bishops who have been validly but illicitly ordained, and are not in communion with the Holy See.
