So, MyrnaM, no one waiting in the wings, then, so far as you seem to discern. And, furthermore, no one who is going to convince you he's pope because a sedevacantist coffee klatch somewhere "elected" him and gave him a new name with a regnal numeral after it and set him up with his own website from which to shepherd the flock.
The vacancy of the See of Rome, as you see it, will involve a more universal resolution, probably Divine in character, that will be fairly obvious to the whole world, satisfying more than just a little group here or a little group there.
If this is to be resolved by the "Hand of God" as you say, will it be, do you imagine, a sort of instant, spectacular resolution, such as SpiritusSanctus has in mind?
Or do you think it might possibly involve a more subtle but obvious motion of the Almighty over time? Might it perhaps involve God working in time through human hands to accomplish the work in due course, according to His usual way? Perhaps even through Catholics of the City of Rome, itself (as opposed to, say, Catholics in small town America or in Francophone Canada or something), effecting the election, somehow, of their own bishop?
