Roscoe, would he thne become a true pope if he came out for :smoke-pot: ??
and the Siri thesis was discussed much before, still waaay too many holes in that one to make credibility certain, including fact he himself refused to be crowned Pope and step down...if that holds up, he STILL STEPPED DOWN!!!! and refused the Tiara.....has happened before, no biggie and does not matter why he stepped down, he stepped down, per thesis and hence, is not Pope then or now, or to 1989....maybe he was elected, fine if that happened, but-one more time-HE STEPPED DOWN, hence does not matter why he did, but that he did-end of story. Some have refused the Tiara when elected, some have left Papacy, realizing they were not cut otu to be Pope...no one declared them to be Popes until their deaths and the other guy or two antipopes.....
Wessex states: "since Rome is now saying Bp. Williamson never really left the Anglican church. An implication here is that she does not consider Lefebvrism is sufficiently Catholic;"
Point one, what is your source for this allegation of who says what??
Point two, that is a joke, for the SSPX and not Rome has maintained the Fide intact.....the Curia has a foot in New Church and RCC, eventually, they need to fully go one way or the other-Luther at least had the guts to do so....
Three, who said Williamson never became a Catholic?? would love to know that persons qualifications.....
SS-why argue further, Roscoe is a pot head and the problems are really so deep and out of control, we need to ally when possible, the playing the "whose your Pope" game is not doing much to advance the Fide really...whether B16 is or is not, we have deeper problems at the root of the tree...we need to get at that, real pope, fake pope, good pope, bad pope....we got problems and the "who is the Pope" is not top on the list....even in times gone by, when we had a universally accepted Pope, we at times ahd heresy, deterioation, worldliness,etc.....
For me, its gotten to the point that though b16 is, to me, the Pope, could give a rats ass......we got bigger problems in the Catholic City that threaten her and need to de dealt with
Obama-he is USA prez, but that to me does not mean a hill of beans if all hell breaks loose in my town, does it! A scenario like "Jericho" could play out and Obama could still be universally recognized as the Prez, when people are dying, raped, etc-who really cares.
Spiritually, that is where we are at present,so a Pope or not, not a biggie.....the Church is not just the Pope....
endless debates on "whose your Pope daddy" are not getting us anywhere at all.......
