DZ stated, "A home aloner would be someone who, for example,  choses to not receive sacraments or otherwise participate in what they hold is invalid and/or illicit."

We have chosen not to receive the sacraments in the Novus Ordo because we believe that they are not only invalid and illicit, but also downright heretical. The nearby parishes have occasionally sung, "Her name is Jesus" and other songs that seem to support the pagan position where the earth is honored as mother-God, or the Neo-Arian belief that Christ became God, but was not always God. It is absolute weirdness. People have to be sleep-deprived and/or doped on drugs not to see the blatant heresy here.

The non-NO parishes, including the CMRI, are too far for us to travel.  Even being offered a ride does not work out due to health concerns. Thus, we are at the mercy of priests who have limited time in their busy schedules.

While it is true Francis is out of his Catholic mind, it is also ridiculous to pretend he isn't Pope. Sedevacantists are like transgender ppl. They want the rest of us to pretend things aren't what they are. Francis sits in the seat, possess the accoutrements, holds the power, has visible recognition, etc. Saying he's a heretic and not the Pope accomplishes nothing. Sedevacantism is nothing but a bunch of finger-pointing. It's a ruse they use in order to shed the responsibility for the crisis in the church we all share. Like Christ, while working out our road to heaven, WE must maintain truth, resist error, suffer and die. Keep the Faith! Francis would have no authority over us unless it were given him from above. Remember, you never have to do what's wrong or obey a false teaching. Francis has never asked you to do anything, so carry on fully Catholic.

Okay, thanks for explaining this.
I was taking a more literal interpretation, not one so theologically expressed.

It gets very very frustrating when people act as though they have a clue about Catholic teaching on the papacy when in fact they know very little. It is the common teaching of theologians that a pope ceases to be pope if he is a manifest heretic. It is also the  common teaching that a manifest heretic is not a member of the Church and if he was elected pope his election would not be valid.

I could give you many proofs of this being taught, but here is just one example. I use this because it is short and concise:

Thanks.

There is this recent pernicious opinion being expressed by Opus Dei, by certain members of CI, and by other pro-Francis groups that even if the Pope expresses heresy openly, which Francis has done, that he remains Pope until a council declares him a heretic. Of course, isn't it Catholic teaching that the Pope is above a Council with the teaching of Papal Supremacy? Thus, the Pope could void whatever a council declares, and we would be back at the start.

This opinion that a heretical pope remains a pope seems diabolic.

What can we do with this obtuse and wicked Vatican bureaucracy? It seems like the Vatican is convinced that the Pope can remain an obstinate heretic and still rule as Pope.

Right now, after extensive reading and research, I have come to the conclusion that all the popes who planned for, participated in, or defended the Docuмents of Vatican II, including Pius XII who set up Diocesan Liturgical Commissions and who allowed the vernacular in the Mass during World War II, were all anti-Popes,
