What the OP didn't state is that Joseph Saraceno predicted (past tense) that the General Judgement would take place on Pentecost Sunday, 2009.
He makes the same prediction every year: it's almost like a sick sort of tradition now.
He has been expelled from various Mass centres for his heretical propaganda.
He was one of the founders of the Four Marks Newsletter, and ads for his literature were featured on there ("Our Lady of the Apocalypse"). This is one reason that periodical was initially proscribed at some Mass centres (this is not alluding to the disgusting abuses of Bp. Dolan in prejudice to the wronged Kathleen Plumb, which may have happened after the Four Marks disassociated itself from Saraceno, which I hope really happened!).
Saraceno is symptomatic of an extreme case of the one-track-mind sort of sede...
Unfortunately some of his errors are shared by others:
1. Some sedevacantists Priests and Bishops have publicly stated in categorical and absolute terms that the present age
is the great apostasy prophesied by St. Paul in his Second Epistle to the Thessalonians.
2. These same clerics tend to hold privately that there shan't be another successor of St. Peter, since the ultimate conclusion of holding the opinion stated in no. 1 above is that the world is at its imminent end, thus conveniently explaining away all the many and profound flaws and problems of "sedevacantism."
This is not formally heretical, but it is an occasion of heresy, or it smacks of heresy, and may be said to lead to dangerous delusions and to offend pious ears of those Catholics who in good faith follow the post-Conciliar hierarchs (spare me your anathemas, "dogmatic" sedes!).
No one amongst these sede clerics has the requisite training, much less the authority, to take the opinion expressed in no. 1 above as a categorical, public statement. They do not have the
missio nor
jurisdictio to preach anyways, much less make statements that indulge the sick chiliasm of present-day mad-trads such as Sareceno.
It is Bp. Pivarunas, who constantly is writing and saying that
this is
the great Apostasy, whom Saraceno cites as an authority. I honestly do not think that Pivarunas understands the seriousness of his statements regarding this matter. Some of his Priests have expressed to individuals their private doubts as to the question of the "next Pope," which is an error proximate to heresy insofar as it negates the perpetuity of the office of the Roman Pontiff as defined by the Vatican Coucil in
Pastor aeternus.
So... yeah... brain damage...
Also, the same deluded and quasi-heretical chiliasm in these sedes does often coincide with Fox News neo-con political views, so... yeah...
