I believe that the last pope died in 1989 (about 33 years ago).
Oh dear God, help me, please. How many people are claiming to be Pope?

What is the name of this supposed pope that died about 33 years ago? Was he in Rome?
Are you part of the Schuckardt (sp?) crowd in Spokane, WA?
Are you part of the group in Kansas that has their own "Pope?" (The guy in his basement--I think he called or calls himself "Pope Michael?"
Are you part of the Old Catholic cult?
Are you in the Palmar De Troya crowd?
Are you part of the group in Quebec that has now branched off into the US, but they claim their own "Pope?"
Are you part of the sub-group of Little Pebble cult--that goes along with
something else?
I have had friends mixed-up with all of these groups, except the first one of the 33 years ago "Pope." That's a new one for me.
Sorry, but I cannot wrap my head around this Lad. I cannot.
I have done my best to understand where you are coming from, but I don't think there is much hope for that.
You are telling me that I need new Priests? I don't think so. I think they are the only ones keeping me from going off the deep end into leaving the Catholic Church and following the church of anyone that sets themselves up to be Pope just because they are convinced they are the ones with the "correct answer."
Edit in: This leaves me with SSPX and FSSP. There is no way I am wandering down the path of "there is no Pope." NOPE, not gonna do it. Nor am I going to get caught up in "independent" chapels so quickly, for this same reason.
God help us all.
