The best argument against the Siri Thesis was given my Nishant here:
Fr. Boulet, in the article on sedevacantism, explained why the Siri thesis is not possible. First, to go back to Great Schism parallels, both sides in that dispute conceded that if ever a single claimant was universally accepted by the hierarchy, the Cardinals or Roman clergy, then all the faithful would necessarily have to accept this claimant after that. The axiom "a doubtful Pope is no Pope" teaches that a Pope whose claim is openly contested by some section of the Church - the hierarchy or the Cardinals on account of a real doubt - is not able in the practical order to exercise the pontificate until that doubt is resolved. It can be resolved in two ways, one by universal acceptance of a single claimant, other by the voluntary resignation or standing down of one or more parties, so that the Church can elect another Pope, as some theologians maintain is the correct explanation of Constance.
the most important reason why we must discard the "Pope Siri" theory is the fundamental principle that a peaceful acceptance of a pope by the Universal Church is the infallible sign and effect of a valid election. All theologians agree on that point. Cardinal Billot says: "God may allow that a vacancy of the Apostolic See last for a while. He may also permit that some doubt be risen about the legitimacy of such or such election. However, God will never allow the whole Church to recognize as Pontiff someone who is not really and lawfully. Thus, as long as a pope is accepted by the Church, and united with her like the head is united to the body, one can no longer raise any doubt about a possible defective election
There is a rule which says that the name of any cardinal appointed in pectore had to be made public by the pope who appointed him. Thus, all cardinals appointed secretly whose name had not been revealed before the death of the pope who nominated them would automatically lose their title ... Consequently, any and every 'cardinal' that was appointed secretly by 'Pope Siri' lost their title in 1989, upon the death of Cardinal Siri, and automatically lost their right to participate in the election of 'Pope Siri's' successor.
You have put more than one question/statement from yourself and have re-posted two other members posts. Can yo refine or refine your post/questions?
I will add this: Gregory XVII was elected, the masons put the threats on, a shoving match/fight broke out at the stove, as the masons knew the election was 100% valid, and wanted to put the Catholic world
in even greater darkness on Oct, 26. 1958, to hide the fact.
At that point a trusted adherent of Pope Gregory XVII [
a top official of Pope Gregory XVII's Swiss Guard] from within the 1958 Conclave on 10-26-58, (absolutely out of necessity) broke protocol and got through all the traps set by ʝʊdɛօ-Masonry ... and somehow was able to
pass a note with the fact that Gregory XVII was elected ... to a runner, who got it to Vatican Radio who confirmed/announced "A pope is elected!"
That heroic Swiss Guard of Gregory XVII's was "fired" by the filthy mason Roncalli who brought anarchy unprecedented ... and
Millions+++ likely to Hell.
People hated Roncalli and his devil spawn of phony popes and their Apostate Council...
as every true Catholic does today.
I am
honored to be a obedient follower of the True Popes, like that Swiss Guard, like Fr. Tran, other priests, and faithful laymen world-wide!

"... he who is (lawfully) elected is Pope ... He governs the Church from that moment[/u], and no other act is required to give him further authority.""When all that we have thus far described has been done [the precise laws of a conclave have been followed], he who is elected is Pope, in all right and justice,
and no man can in any way call his election in question or endeavor to invalidate it. He governs the Church from that moment, and no other act is required to give him further authority. Some, it is true, assert that the coronation is in some way necessary to the perfection of the election. However, this ceremony is by no means essential, for we find that Clement V. threatens with excommunication those who assert that bulls issued before the coronation are not binding." (From: The Life and Acts of Pope Leo XIII: Preceded by a Sketch of the Last Days of Pius IX and the Origin and Laws of the Conclave, edited by Fr. Joseph Edward Keller, pg. 201, Imprimatur 1879)[/font]
Here was my logical refutation of Nishant's question on cardinals made "in secret" having to tell who they were to the public:
Nishant:
In brief: Roncalli and his masons, with their plotted successful usurpation at the 1958 Conclave, knowingly put the entire Catholic world into schism, except of course Christ's Chosen Vicar, the hostage pope, Gregory XVII, and his trusted adherents. Schimatics are not Catholics as you know.
Regarding Gregory XVII's secret cardinals: It certainly is Church teaching that what are traditionally understood as secret Cardinals or Cardinals created 'in pectore' [i.e. specific Cardinals created in normal times by a secured Pope who has free movement, (for instance) in the Holy Father's private chapel at the Vatican in a purposely secret ceremony] (do) lose their rights as Cardinals upon the death of the appointing Pope. Yet as stated above- regarding the Hostage Pope, Gregory XVII's truly warlike situation- all of the elder Pontiff's actions to carry on the mission of the Church in 1988 by necessity, were performed in a way to avoid detection/certain death for him and his Princes by the armed usurpers [Freemasons].
Hence, His Holiness [an expert in doctrine] creating Cardinals who could convene a lawful conclave (which included designating a *Camerlengo), giving His Cardinals a special code-type communication system, His formulation of a strategic Continuation of Papacy Plan [rules of conclave, etc.,] and His specific commands of to/for His Cardinals to carry out His orders, were all conducted/administered in the (war) traditions of the Catacombs - that is "out of view" of the enemy (for a time) - so as the flock could regroup [purify and strengthen itself] - to then in God's precise timing - come back and conquer the enemy.
*"On the death of the Pontiff the Cardinal Camerlengo, as representative of the Sacred College, assumes the charge of the papal household, notifying to all the Cardinals of the Church the death of the late Pope and the impending election. Every Cardinal has the right to vote in the Conclave, but he must be present in person to do so." -F. A. FORBES, The Life of Pius X, p. 62, 1918 Imprimatur
Pope Gregory XVII (and His Cardinals) like numerous other persecuted Popes (and their Cardinals) throughout Church History, successfully implemented the Catacomb (war) strategy... .
"Qui mange le Pape, meurt!"
May I ask who you adhere to as pope, whom you must be subject to in order to be eligible for Heaven?
