If what you say is true, Meg ... I wonder what is it you believe Francis is teaching us, pick something from your Traditional Catholic point of view that you agree with him.
When the conciliar hierarchy teaches what is truly Catholic, which doesn't appear to happen often, but it can, then there is Catholic teaching. I'm not going to provide specifics, Myrna. You'll just have to get over it.
The Church has not defected. There is still evidence of Catholicism, slight though it may seem.
Sedeism is an extreme reaction to a real problem. The Catholic Church, from what I have studied, takes prudence and procedure seriously. That's something sedes can't tolerate.
