The thing that I take issue with is what I refer to as "dogmatic sedevacantism."
Ah, we can't avoid evil, or determine where catholic tradition is without making illicit judgments or rendering our opinions binding on others. I'll be waiting for an "authority" on that one.
You have never addressed my observation that to unite under this opinion is an error as it is outside of the Catholic faith. Never has anyone addressed this problem.

Excuse me, but I quote the same words that were ratified by Pope Eugene IV, and they are wrong? Get real.
