    • Does anyone believe Benedict XVI is the only valid post-1958 pope? If so, what are their arguments?

    The reason I ask is that John Paul I took his name from John XXIII and Paul VI, and John Paul II took his from John Paul I. But Benedict XVI broke this "tradition", taking his name after Pope St. Pius X's successor Benedict XV. This would seem to indicate he did not want to identify with them.

    • Did he say the New Order "mess"?  If so that is heretical.  When "they" say a new order mess, it is heretical. It is Manifest, publicly out in the open, like fruit on a tree.  You will know them by their fruits.
