Canon Lawyer Marc Balestrieri does not see how avoiding official heresy and schism is an attenuating factor for the Society of St.Pius X (SSPX)

Avoiding heresy and schism was an attenuating factor of the Society of St. Pius X. This was not known by the Canon Lawyer Marc Balestrieri as reported on the Church Militant TV website. 1

The Code of Canon Law provides that the judgment as to whether any individual Bishop has committed formal schism and thereby been excommunicated is reserved to the Pope alone (cf. can. 1405, § 1, 3o). It states that in all other cases not expressly excepted in law, meaning, for example, regarding SSPX priests and lay faithful exclusively affiliated with them, the judge is the Bishop of the Diocese in which they are domiciled or quasi-domiciled (cf. can. 1419, § 1).

Lionel: All the bishops like the present two popes are interpreting magisterial documents, with irrational Cushingite theology and so there is a rupture with EENS ( Feeneyite) and the Syllabus of Errors on ecumenism etc.This is material schism. This is public heresy and mortal sin.It is a rupture with Magisterium of the past, for example, the 16th century.

It was confirmed in an explanatory note issued on 24 August 1996 by the Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts that the immediate cause of the excommunications of Archbishop Lefebvre, and Bishops de Castro Mayer, Tissier de Mallerais, Williamson, de Galarreta, and Fellay was the episcopal consecration confected without pontifical mandate against the express prohibition of the Supreme Pontiff in violation of the proscription of can. 1382 CIC. 

Lionel: There was the consecration of bishops by Archbishop Lefebvre since Vatican Council II(Cushingite) interpreted with an irrational premise was obviously a rupture with the dogma EENS and other magisterial documents,
This heresy and schism was accepted by the hierarchy.
They refused to interpret Vatican Council II with Feeneyism; without the false premise.They have imposed this public sin upon the whole Church. The SSPX correctly rebelled.

The Pontifical Council states that there do not appear to be circumstances attenuating the imputability (subjective responsibility) of the actions of the clergy affiliated with the Society of St. Pius X.

Lionel: They were avoiding the Cushingite interpretation of Vatican Council II and EENS.This is something all Catholics should do, and especially those who work in the pontifical offices.Avoiding heresy and schism is 'an attenuating factor'.

...As for the attribution made to Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, I am only aware of an interview given in Italian on 22 December 2013 to the newspaper Corriere della Sera. On that occasion, he appears to have spoken only as a private doctor when he stated (my translation): 

The canonical excommunication incurred by reason of the illicit ordinations was lifted from the Bishops, but there remains the sacramental one, de facto, for the schism: They have distanced themselves from [being in] communion with the Church.

Lionel: They have distanced themselves from Vatican Council II (Cushingite) and this is to their credit. However they must now ask the hierarchy to first affirm Vatican Council II (Feeneyite) so that they can follow.-Lionel Andrades
