but there is no Church teaching giving anyone the right to declare the pope is not the pope.
Does there need to be? Does having a certitude that a so-called pope could NOT be pope on the basis of Papal Magisterial tradition, right reasoning, Scripture... etc...be considered judging an ecclesiastical situation and making sound deductions.
Richard Ibranyi has the certitude of faith that the so-called popes could NOT be popes on the basis of Papal Magisterial tradition, right reasoning, Scripture and by his considered judging an ecclesiastical situation and making sound deductions declares that there have been no popes or cardinals since 1130.
What makes you think he is wrong and you're not?
The Church has spoke very CLEARLY, heretics are not Catholics. Is it lawful for anyone to reject any of those Truths without thereby sending himself headlong into open heresy....?
You confuse statements made by the Church with explicit papal instructions given us to follow.
The argument that the ability to depose a pope would allow for the laymen to start deposing popes all the way back to St Peter is absurd.
You think it absurd, yet you do not even consider that there is nothing to stop the Richard Ibranyi's or other crooks from doing exactly what you say is absurd.
Do you suppose everyone is a saint, that there are no Judas'? If you are so naive to think that it couldn't happen except to actual heretics, then you've got some pretty potent booze in the koolaid you're drinking.
How many popes/anti-popes dissented from the Catholic faith prior to Vatican II? None, obviously.
Sedevacantist Richard Ibranyi has docuмented that all the popes since 1130 dissented. Google it to see the docuмentation for yourself.
How many clergy dissented from the Catholic faith prior to Vatican II. Many, obviously.
Since the Church teaches we can declare the pope is not the pope - what does it matter? Let's just declare the pope is not the pope and....and.....Hmmmm, then what? We cannot elect another one so.......seems a bit odd that we can kick one out of office but there's no way to put a new one in. Now I don't know what to do.......I guess we just condemn the bastard and live without one till the end of time.
