How should faithful Catholics respond to this unprecedented situation? Let me wait until I comment on the latest from Michael Matt, longtime champion of "We can work this out, if we have our Latin Mass."
If it affects their pocket or their lifestyle, they will not respond, even if Francis turns red and grows horns. Hey, it's about money and inconvenience.
Examples - If Michael Matt declared himself a sedevacantes he would lose his source of income. If Joe Blow would declare himself a sedevacantes he would lose the business he gets from the parishioners, and his children would be thrown out of their diocese school. If the SSPX declared themselves sedevacantes, they would lose a ton of money and parishioners, they would once again become the size that they were when ABL started the whole thing.
