Is Rome in full Communion with Christ?  The people have been abandoned!  For the first time in the History of the Church, we have no sacraments! No Holy Orders, therefore no sacraments, but maybe Baptism, Marriage.  We did not abandon Rome or the system That Christ commanded. But those who claim to be with Christ are not.  We are abandoned!  We have no Catholic Ruler besides no sacraments.

To me the prisoner or exiled pope sounds a lot like the Siri Theory.

Here's a prophecy from Rudolfo Gilthier, a monk from the 1700s:

Rome will lose its Sceptre through following False Prophets. The Pope will be taken Prisoner by his attendants. The Church will be held hostage, and after a short time there will be no more Pope.

Rome will lose its scepter, its authority, through the following of false prophets (false teachers)?  Siri was cast aside, kicked, out, and reportedly kept under close watch by some of his personal attendants.  Sine the death of this hostage pope, there have been no more popes.

Then there's the prophecy from St. Nicholas of Fluh that things would get so bad that the Apostolic Succession would appear to have ceased.

Is it possible that Montini was being blackmailed?  I think so.  It doesn't seem likely, but's possible.  Perhaps they were blackmailing him over his sodomite activities.  In which case, his actions would not have been free and therefore invalid.

I'm not averse to such an explanation.  I don't think it entirely likely given his background, etc., but I can't rule it out.

What I AM opposed to is the attempt by R&R to attribute the evils of the Conciliar Magisterium and the New Mass to the legitimate papal authority.

. . . that would happen to him if he tried to do anything good like oppose the federal reserve as Kennedy did.

To explain, of all the reasons I have heard as to why Kennedy was αssαssιnαtҽd, the one that made the most sense to me was that he had the US Treasury issue money independent of the federal reserve and wanted to print more and this is one of the reasons why he was killed. They say the bankers killed him and as soon as he died they confiscated all the non-federal reserve currency and stopped printing it. Like everything I have learned, I have no idea what is true and what were lies, so I would not be surprised if I was wrong.

But you do agree that the idea of the pope being a prisoner in the Vatican was definitely and clearly personified by Pius IX and his successors through Pius XI, right?

What I find preposterous is not so much that a pope would be threatened by masons. In fact, I'm sure popes have been threatened by masons for centuries now. But that's not what is being suggested here. What's being suggested is that Paul VI was secretly a traditional Catholic just like everyone on this forum, and yet for 13 years preached heresy and systematically destroyed the Church in every possible way because he was under some form of duress, without ever attempting to escape that duress, signal for help, or simply go against it and preach the Faith anyway. Assuming a true pope could knowingly preach heresy out of fear in the first place (something I think is contrary to Catholic theology), he would have been in visible discomfort during his public appearances, especially during his speeches in which he spoke against the Faith. Knowing he was burying himself in the deepest part of hell by his apostasy would have slowly taken its toll on him, and he would probably have cracked under the strain and the fear of whatever he was being threatened with, too, and maybe had a nervous breakdown or something similar. Not to mention, as I said, he would have made some attempt to get out of the power of his enemies.
.
That's why I find the whole scenario preposterous. To say that someone could live a life so radically against what he believed for so long, without the slightest show of cracking or dropping hints or asking for help, especially when there isn't a shred of evidence to indicate any of it, really involves rejecting the most fundamental concepts of reality and common sense. It's almost like saying we are living in a Truman Show-like world, or a matrix simulation. Can I definitively prove that those ideas are false? Probably not, but they really can't be entertained as possible without rejecting the most basic human ideas about reality. I think the notion of Paul VI as "trad prisoner pope" is about on the same level.

To backup what Yeti is saying here, take a look at Dom Guerenger’s meditation on St Thomas Becket (Dec 29).  The choice that the martyrs had was either die for the faith and go to heaven or deny the faith and go to hell.  There is no other option.  We can’t make a mental reservation while giving the appearance of denying the faith.  We can’t blame our denial on external pressures or fear of death.  Why would we fear death if we truly held the faith which tells us that there is no greater love than to lay down ones life for a friend.  Would Our Lord refuse the hoped-for reward to such friends?  And according to Dom G, this requirement to remain steadfast in the face of death threats is greater for prelates.  Not only must they uphold the doctrine of the Church but they must also assert the rights of the Church, specifically the Church’s liberty. This is why St Thomas Becket is considered a martyr because he asserted the Church’s liberty over the demands of the king.

I've heard this claim so many times, but I've never seen a shred of evidence for it. Have you?

It's not Siri was living in some bunker after the election of Roncalli. He was seen in public, operated his diocese. He could easily, at any time, have picked up his phone and called the police and told them he was being threatened by his assistants, or that they wouldn't let him leave his house. He could have simply walked out his front door, hailed a cab, and gotten the hell out of town. He could have done any number of things very easily if he were the true pope and knew it. The fact that he didn't is hard to reconcile with the idea that he was pope.
.
So many popes have been put to death, put in dungeons, tortured both physically and mentally in every possible way. If Siri were pope, why would he have behaved so radically differently? Wouldn't he have the graces of state of all his predecessors?
.
If he were the true pope, allowing John XXIII to present himself to the world as the true pope, and allowing the world to be deceived by that, would be an act of schism if he knew that he himself were the true pope. Maybe he was okay with burning in hell forever to avoid persecution in this world; he wouldn't be the first. But it just seems hard to believe.
.
The only theory I have ever heard for why Siri would sell his soul in such an awful manner is that his family was threatened with murder if he announced himself as pope. But that would be martyrdom if it were carried out. Couldn't he call his family up, tell them to prepare their souls for a glorious crown, and then give a press conference telling the world how he was elected in the 1958 conclave?
.
While I do agree that the 1958 conclave is extremely suspicious and anomalous, I just don't think the idea of "Pope Siri" living out his days as a secret pope is a very adequate answer, and seems to create greater problems than it is intended to solve.

We leave it up to God to determine the degree of sin Siri may or may not have had in backing away from the papacy.  I could also see some ambivalence in the mind of Siri.  He may have perceived that he had resigned, even if it was under duress.  But the duress would have canonically invalidated the resignation.  So I don't believe that Siri was necessarily convinced that he was actually the reigning Pope.  But it would have canonically impeded the election of Roncalli et al. nonetheless.  There's that prophecy of St. Francis that there would be an "uncanonically-elected pope" who would wreak havoc on the Church and would be a "destroyer".
