Author Topic: Do all sedevacantists think we're living through "The Great Apostasy"?  (Read 2909 times)

No.  The only thing all sedevacantists have in common is the acceptance of the fact that the Catholic Church currently does not have a reigning pope.

As for this sedevacantist, I believe we may be living during the Great Apostasy, but I don't know.  Remember that Pope St. Pius X believed that The Anti-Christ was probably alive during his day.  The Church will be restored.  Whether that will happen before the Last Judgment is not something I can say.

The apostasy of our day is great, in the sense that it is horrible and widespread.  But the "Great Apostasy", in my opinion, refers to a time in the future when, all countries being catholic, they all fall away during the time of anti-christ.  100% of the world apostasizing would be the only thing which would be worse than our times.

Trial, Tribulation & Triumph: Before, During, and After Antichrist
  -- by Desmond A. Birch

The writer is a conciliar catholic, so you have to stomach some quotes from V2, but the book is well researched and worth the read, as most of the quotes come from the Church Fathers and Doctors.


Another book I highly recommend is:
Catholic Prophecy: The Coming Chastisement

Come on, man, quit being so literal.  For crap's sake, I think some of you people in this site like to argue just to argue.  Take a chill pill!  I said 100% of the catholic WORLD (meaning every single country, in a general sense) not every single catholic.  

P.s. It is agreed to by all the church fathers that before the anti christ comes the whole world will be catholic.  That hasn't happened yet, so this current apostasy isn't part of the end times.  No way, no how.

But when the Son of man comes, shall he indeed find faith on the earth? (Luke 18:8 )

For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch as to deceive (if possible) even the elect. ( Mat 24:24 )
I can't think of any prophecy that would better describe our times than these quotes describing the end times. How many Catholic bishops and priests remain in this world today, let alone faithful, practically none.
