Hello,
I am concerned about something I came across a little while ago–namely, sedevacantism and Most Holy Family Monastery. I went to their YouTube page to see what they were all about and came across this video (I hope no one minds if I put it here)

The arguments in it and their other videos are very convincing, and this troubles me, naturally. I was hoping someone might know of a refutation to their claims? Or some other person/group/book/website that might take their beliefs and show the falsity of them? Does anyone have any information like that?
Thank You,
bookish
Well, I hope we don’t have to go through this, but…
You find their arguments convincing? They rouse up St. Robert Bellarmine from the dead and confuse his teaching saying that he didn’t think it was probable that a pope could be a heretic.
That in itself should mean that he didn’t believe a pope could be a heretic.
Then they go to Mystici Corporis which says that heretics are outside of the church, and by saying that, then the Pope could not be in office. They say that heresy is an automatic excommunication, confusing the law of penalties and crimes.
The pope can’t be a heretic. He is infallible. And he cannot be convicted of a crime since he is the Supremen head of the Church, and the Code of Canon Law is subservient to him, including any bishop, synod, general council, conference, commission, or congregation.
I have difficulty believing anyone would find their arguments convincing, and they have been argued against on this site for month after month.
After they sent away, they open another site under some other pretext. Kind of like this one. BTW I notice that you are a new member.
peace
