sedebeneplenebergogliovacantism (see is filled with Benedict and empty of Bergoglio)
How about Frank and Benny or Frankenbenny?
is about the dumbest "solution" to the Crisis that I've heard -- it's right above the Siri Thesis.
I disagree with your assessment of the Siri thesis being so dumb. I think it is less dumb than straight sedevacantism and much less dumb than sedeprivationism. So different traditional Catholics have different opinions about such things. Where would you rate the theory that Paul VI was really good but all the bad things he did were really done by his body double? Or the idea that all the popes were good but they were held prisoner in the Vatican and the Freemasons and Jєωs wrote all of the heretical letters and made all of their evil decisions while the popes were innocent?
sede-bene-plene-bergoglio-vacantism is about the dumbest "solution" to the Crisis that I've heard -- it's right above the Siri Thesis.Saying Benedict is the true pope solves NOTHING. What about all the other horrible post-V2 popes? What about after Benedict dies? (Let's just say that even most eighty-somethings will live to see it...)And Benedict is hardly a good pope himself! He was a radical liberal during Vatican II. Now he's a "conservative". Talk about an example of the ever-shifting Overton window!https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window
Matto,The only thing that the Siri thesis does is cut the length of the time of sedevacante.
Unless one believes that he made secret cardinals and there is a secret hierarchy somewhere with a true Pope from the Siri line. That belief is what I think is better than straight sedevacantism, because to me a secret pope and a secret Church in the catacombs seems better than no Pope at all. I know this seems absurd, but so is life in the times of the antichrist. And don't think that I despise sedevacantism, I just have a different hierarchy of theories.
What true shepherd leaves his flock to be scattered and preyed upon by wolves, just to save himself (for fear of the Jєωs)? John 10:12
St. Peter did. He fled from the Crucifixion. Of the apostles, only St. John stayed.
Peter wasn't the pope at that time, and he fled Jesus' imprisonment and scourging, not His crucifixion. The Divine Sacrifice had not yet taken place, hence, Peter wasn't the pope until Pentecost.
