== Question about recognition of bishops  == 

 Hello, Since you seem to know quite a bit about such things I am wondering if you can clarify for me to what extent bishops such as Richard Williamson are understood to still be (Roman) Catholic bishops (and not just bishops with valid but illicit orders) when they have been ordained without canonical authority? I partly ask this because of a disagreement I've recently had over the article name for Michael Cox (Catholic bishop) who is, in my understanding, more of a vagantes bishop. How do you understand the differences in recognition between someone such as Williamson and someone such as Cox? Cheers,
