I believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His Only Son, Our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into Hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

Editors Beware

Negative, Bernie. I have attempted to post pertinent published articles on the website you reference, only to have them removed by the administrator, presumably you or George. "Roguebishop" appears to be operated by those who "have a bias due to their own experiences with the subject of the article".

It would be disingenuous to provide this site as an impartial source.

As I recall earlier, one of you made the statement that you were going to "start your own website" so that your own views would be unrestricted by the Wikipedia philosophy of concensus.

While the website may indeed contain legitimate third party material, it has been my experience that you are filtering out additional third party material that conflicts with your point of view. Please correct me if I am wrong. Have you deleted pertinent third party material from your website? Gabriel Joseph

You are absolutely right that your post was deleted from the website. It was deleted by me. Where you are mistaken is that it was deleted on purpose and that it was deleted because of its content. I thank you for the oportunity to explain. I am a new administrator at the rougebishop website and I attempted to move the excellent article you posted from the forum you had placed it in into a new forum dealing specifically with the theological position of Francis K. Schuckardt. During the process of moving the article, I didn't unclick a box so it left the article not only in the new position but also in the old position. So when I deleted it from the old position, it also unfortunately got deleted from the new position. I could find no way to undelete it. I immediately emailed to you a message detailing what happened and apologizing for my mistake. I also encouraged you to post the article again. I do not know why you did not receive the email. It is always a bit tricky to observe an action of another and then divine the individual's motive. I myself am not good at it and have found that it is a very difficult to guess correctly. I think there are many excellent editors involved with Wikipedia. If one of them is willing to get involved with improving this article, I don't think it is in anyone's best interest to discourage them. Bernie Radecki 18:10, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your prompt reply and explanation. It should be observed that the deleted article is a defense of the validity and lawfulness of Bishop Schuckardt's ordination and consecration, published by Mt. St. Michael after the clerical insurgency (ca. 1985). Besides this article (which I will repost), there are additional published sources that would shed light on this subject. The next one that could/should be tracked down is the lengthy "Memorandum of Decision on the Recovery of Church Property" written by Plumas Superior Court Judge Roger Settlemire. On the whole, it is a legal indictment (so to speak) of Rev. Chicoine's underhanded methods in procuring church property. Gabriel Joseph
