I repeat, we have never separated ourselves from the Church.

Dans le Droit canonique de 1917, la consécration d’un évêque sans mandat du pape n'est pas considérée comme un schisme, mais seulement comme un abus d’autorité et n’entraîne pas d’excommunication. L’ensemble de l'histoire de l'Église manifeste un point de vue différent sur le problème des consécrations épiscopales faites sans mandat du pape. C'est très important.

Notes from Wikiquote

In the 1917 Code of Canon Law, the consecration of a bishop without the mandate of the Pope was not considered a schism, but only an abuse of authority, and did not entail excommunication. The history of the Church as a whole shows a different view on the problem of episcopal consecrations made without the mandate of the Pope. This is very important.
