When I started the thread in 2014, there were TEN such living bishops appointed by Pius XII!
Today there is just one:
That's 62.07 years A BISHOP, mind you -- not 62 years old. Wow!
But he was only appointed as a titular Bishop by Pius XII, and titular bishops don't receive ordinary jurisdiction. They exercise jurisdiction that is delegated to them by the Pope, and they lose it when the Pope dies.
Catholic Encyclipedia:"Titulars, as such, have not, and do not exercise, power of order and jurisdiction, in and over their titular sees. All actual jurisdiction in titular sees the pope reserves to himself, and exercises through the Sacred Congregation of Propaganda. The jurisdiction of a diocesan is ordinary. Should a titular perform a jurisdictional function, he uses delegated jurisdiction."
That means there are no more bishops alive today who possessed ordinary jurisdiction when Pius XII died. For sedevacantists, that means there are no more formal successors of the apostles, no more hierarchy, and no more true Church with four marks. If there's no salvation outside of the true Church, and the true Church no longer exists, how can anyone be saved? And if someone says salvation is possible when there is no Church, they are guilty of heresy for denying EENS.
