Listen, if you are trying to sell something you are doing a lousy job. I told you my issue with holding the resistance position.
If you are not following blind/faithless leaders then tell me who, what and why you are resisting?
I could never support this position until I get clarity, and your certainly not doing a good job explaining what appears to be a contradiction.
I have explained it, I do not follow any leader - again, who is your blind/faithless leader? Who was it that led you into sedevacantism?
I am not trying to sell anything, I am repeating the Catholic position which is altogether foreign to sedevacantism which is why sedes cannot understand anything I am saying.
Our Lord made St. Peter the first pope and those elected as pope after him are St. Peter's successors - period. Because Christ Himself instituted it as such, that is Divine Law, that is Catholic and will remain Catholic without any regard whatsoever to the the sanctity or evilness of the popes.
That is my position because that is the only Catholic position there is. I do not follow the pope, I am his subject, but God's first. If he ever commands anything binding and not sinful, I will obey him because he is the pope. I do not foresee that ever happening, but I cannot see into the future so it could - but for the last 57 years that I've been alive, it hasn't.
All we need to do is take care to adhere to this Catholic truth:
"It is a defined dogma of the Catholic Church that no one can be saved who is not subject to that flesh and blood Vicar of Jesus, the Roman Pontiff. It is one of the requirements for salvation." - Fr. Feeney
To attempt to circuмvent this requirement is impossible - and it is impossible no matter what excuse is used, what proviso is added or how positive sedes are that he is not the pope.
