No wonder you didn't write it in here...
Okay. Allow me to remedy this.

Sedevacantism: Part 2This evening, I heard something insightful:
(
http://www.audiosancto.org/sermon/20070422-Contra-Sedevacantism-and-the-Recent-Docuмent-on-Limbo.html).
When Christ was on Earth in his final mortal hours, if one had seen Him getting beaten, mocked, and dangling from a Roman cross, there'd be the impression that Jesus was a pathetic, withered, earthly man in the middle of a horrible episode of suffering at the end of his mortal life. He did not appear to be God. And most in the crowd did not acknowledge that this was God on Earth. Christ did not look like God on Earth in those moments. So people went forward with mocking him, asking for his suffering and death, jeering and shouting.
Now we see the Church is in the same situation. She is bloodied. She is suffering. People mock Her and ask for Her suffering and death. The faithless jeer and ridicule the Church. People do not recognize the Church as God's Institution on Earth. And so, we have a large set of people who are missing the point entirely.
Christ wanted His followers near Him in those horrible final hours. Yet, they were not there with Him.
How many times have you said to yourself: "If I could go back in time, I would have been with Jesus until the bitter end."
Well, now the Holy Spirit desires our presence with the Catholic Church of God in these horrible (and possibly final) hours. Shall it be that here, too, God will be abandoned once again?
--------------------
I will further add the following thought, which I have posted elsewhere:
It occurs to me that I'll be offending people I know online and whom I respect. But I believe in what I am saying. I must proclaim it. I must put it on the table so that it is clear where I stand.
(And, I apologize for the brief replies and entries. I'm unable to post prolifically any longer.)
I am not yet attempting to insult individuals. I'm being sincere, here.
My qualm is with the idea of sedevacantism. Not individual people. Not yet, anyway.
Okay...
Again, I'm saying that sedevacantism is a schism.
The Chair of Peter is NOT empty. There have been men with the authority of the Vicar of Christ in the Vatican since 1968. This is just a new form of division that Satan is enacting in our battered and bloodied Church.
Furthermore, I have a prediction. That prediction:
Sedevacantism will never ever go away. It will linger in existence until the return of Jesus Christ. Further, sedevacantists will grow in their hatred for the True Church as the decades roll by. The very mention of the Catholic Church will cause instantaneous scoffing, eye rolling, and sneering.
Loyal sedevacantist followers will never be satisfied. There will never be anyone arising from anywhere to do anything they want. Ever. If the pope is fake, and if the cardinals are wrong, and the bishops are corrupt, then just where is a legitimate pope supposed to arise from?
Another prediction: sedevacantism will grow in its members. You can look forward to many societies, clubs, conferences, and publications. The Devil likes to have as many opposition groups against the Universal Church of God as possible. There will be people who convert directly into sedevacantism without ever having sworn any kind of fealty to the Mother Church. Because the idea of being in opposition to the big bad loony popes of old will be an attractive prospect, courtesy of our anti-Christian media.
In a hundred years or more--if the world lasts that long--sedevacantists will still be around enjoying the same status as Eastern Orthodox. Meanwhile, the real news will be what is happening in the Catholic Church that the sedes departed from.

This is where Laramie Hirsch stands.
What needs to happen, is that such people need to re-join the Church and utilize their talents to restore the Church from the madness she finds herself in.
