Sedevacantism in Church History
« on: September 23, 2024, 12:14:08 AM »
Did sedevacantism exist prior to Vatican 2?

My early research hasn't detected anything in Church history on the same level as the sedevacantism that originated with Vatican 2.

There have been around 40 antipopes but always when there was another sitting pope. The current period is unprecedented

The current period is unprecedented because it is The Great Apostasy of the End Times but there hasn't always been another sitting pope.  There have been various periods where there has been no pope.

Yes. Sedevacantism is taught by all the Fathers of the Church, as St. Robert Bellarmine tells us. Fr. Cekada's pamphlet here cites numerous pre-Vatican 2 theologians in favor of sedevacantism.

Actually, it is recognize and resist that does not exist before Vatican 2.

My early research has detected that an apostacy such as Vatican II has never affected the Church before.
