Ahhhh yes, Father Lucian Pulvermacher. Please don’t bear this man any ill will. He is one of the many who felt “disenfranchised” by the more open and ecumenical posture of the Church after Vatican II. He has a very small, but loyal following here in America. Unfortunately, he is not the only “other” pope. In 1978, the traditionalist movement Palmar de Troya elected Clemente Dominguez Y Gomez as Pope Gregory XVII. There are those who claim that the abondonment of the Papal Coronation ceremony and refusal to wear the papal tiara are indications that the current See of Rome is vacant. There are other spurious and unsubstantiated claims that don’t even warrant mention in this forum. Be it to say, however, that John Paul II is the current Bishop of Rome and Vicar of Christ, arguements to the contrary notwithstanding. Pray for poor disillusioned Father Pulvermacher and Father Gomez that they discover the error of their ways and reunite with Rome before they end their earthly pilgramage.
