What are these religious matters which fall within the ambit of the Vatican ii pope's authority in which you obey them?
I will let you know the next time he exercises his authority. So far as I know, like his conciliar predecessors, he has not even attempted to bind us to anything. All this pope does is go around speaking anti-Catholic rhetoric and doing anti-Catholic things.
So you admit there is no difference between the way a sedevacantist behaves and the way you behave, only that the former says openly that he doesn't regard the conciliar popes as real popes, and you don't.
If you both behave exactly the same way, why do you constantly demonize SV and say so much against it?
No, we do not behave the same. Sedevacantists flirt with an absolutely unknowable, anti-Catholic belief which at the very least, is highly dangerous to their eternity, because no one at all makes it to heaven without personal submission to the pope. That is dogma, it binds us all without regard to our opinion. So if they are wrong, and there is no way possible to prove they are right, they are risking their entire eternity on their own opinion - an opinion which contradicts Catholic teaching.
Because of their opinion, they are not only unable, but absolutely unwilling - or better to say - that they've made themselves *incapable* to personally submit to the pope under any circuмstance because they do not believe he even is the pope. This is not Catholic.
We differ because when we Catholics remain the pope's good subjects but God's first, we do not follow or obey him when we know he is in error, rather, we pray for the pope daily - which is the duty of every Catholic regardless of our opinion on the pope's sanctity - indeed, the less saintly the pope is, the worse he needs our prayers, but sedevacantists do not see it this way, which is the only way that Catholics see it.
Recall also that so strong is this error that the sedevacantists split from traditional Catholics with their opinion as their armor, opened their own chapels and seminaries, consecrate their own bishops, ordain their own priests, opened their own schools, celebrate Mass according to their own opinion - in short, they have separated themselves because it is *they* who behave differently. They have convinced themselves that they know for certain something absolutely impossible to prove, let alone know for certain while we live in this world.
The blatant dishonesty that most (not all) sedevacantists demonstrate is an identifiable trait by which Catholics know them.
Ask any sedevacantist why do they personally need a pope for their salvation and you will see this dishonesty for yourself. When I asked that question here on CI, only one sedevacantist, whom I have high regard for, honestly answered - ALL the rest of them weaseled as is per usual, rather than give an honest answer........one of the dogmatic sedes, McCork, in his desperation to side step the question, even went so far as start a thread about how I supposedly reject the above mentioned dogma, just so he could avoid answering that simple question.
No, we do not behave the same.
