The sedevacantist logic is not twisted at all.I guess that’s why I started the thread - I couldn’t see anyway out of the logic they were using and was curious to see how they saw it. So far no sedevacantist but Joe Omlor has attempted to explain by what criteria they’ll be able to know when we “finally” have a pope again - which leads me to believe it might be because they don’t know what that criteria is.
It was prior to understanding the SV position that I had be a mental contortionist to try and understand and justify what was going on in the church. The SV position is the only one that makes any sense at all. I love the true Catholic Faith and want to be able to practise it as my Catholic ancestors did but I cannot do that in the Novus Ordo Church.
Your question is a fair one Kwitz, I will not deny that.
Some traditionalists believe that the state of things is now so serious that only God Himself can fix it and will do so in His own good time. This being in itself a great act of faith in Him.
All I know is that because of my knowledge of the Catholic Faith (which was passed on to me by good Catholic parents) I know that things are not right at present and that the new religion lacks the four marks that identify the Catholic Church.
One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic.
This can only be found in the True Religion which I now hang onto with both hands. So it will not be a matter of a pope meeting “our” criteria but rather a pope who meets the criteria of the Catholic Church as it always was.
God Bless.
