…The longest vacancy of the Holy See has been less than three years, and the episcopate remained one and the same moral body during the interregnum. And no sane person would claim that the Holy See has been vacant since '89 or '58, nor is that what the insane Sedevacantists are really claiming. They are claiming that a series of false Pope have been reigning in the Holy See for over 60 years, and that the entire episcopate has recognized them as the legitimate Popes the entire time. That is a denial of the indefectibility of the Church.…
"But yet the Son of man, when he cometh, shall he find, think you, faith on earth?"
In the context of Luke 18, it is difficult to appreciate the phrase, but it strikes me that, when Our Lord comes again, that indefectible Church will be almost invisible, in the catacombs.
I find no promise that the Church will remain large, only that it will remain indefectible.
Who can make the case that the conciliar sect, all 1 billion of them, is true to the Faith?
