So this is a theory I am wondering about.
I think the Vatican 2 ideology is so deeply entrenched into the mainstream church that the church will go down the road of apostacy unless some cardinal somewhere breaks away and becomes the leader of a traditionalist church. Traditionalists should ultimately break away from the current "pope" and start their own hierarchy. But what I am wondering is, is there a Catholic contingency plan for a situation where those who would elect a true pope are unwilling to do so? Is the church so fragile as just to take the cardinals and the "pope" contradicting tradition to destroy the entire body and prevent any possibility of a future legit pope and true doctrine?
Could a group of traditionalists get together in a provisional conclave and elect a new pope that stood for pre-vatican2 doctrine? Should there be some sort of world organisation of sedevacantists for this purpose?
I find it hard to just lie down and die and think this is the end of the world, I think we ought to do something to ensure the church survives into the future.

:surprised: :confused1:So, what, exactly, is the "Resistance"??  Archbishop Lefebvre started the SSPX because????

The SSPX could be the organisation that ensures the survival of tradition, it is certainly the biggest as far as I know, but I don't think they would be willing to follow a new pope OR somehow make a new pope, they want to be part of the mainstream church but not accept Vatican 2. Sooner or later they are gonna have to decide between Catholic doctrine and Vatican 2 hierarchy, the two become more distant with every passing day.

  :heretic:What you suggest has been tried over 500 years ago by some fellow named Martin Luther! :whistleblower:

So we just give up and either accept an outrageous pope or become sedevacantists and think that its the end of the world and the church is gone?

Surely it takes more than the defection of the top hierarchy to destroy the One Holy Catholic Apostolic church? :geezer:

In fact, it is my understanding with CMRI they will not participate with any election, they have faith that God will work out this crisis in His perfect time.
