The Vacancy began with what Vatican II pope?

  • I find this interesting...

    Bishop Michel Guerard de Laurier was a Dominican theologian who became a  sedevacantist.  After serving briefly as personal confessor to Pope Pius XII, Msgr. Guerard believed that the vacancy of the Apostolic See began with Paul VI and not John XXIII.  I remembered reading way back that he advised Archbishop Thuc that the vacancy did not begin with Roncalli but with Montini, just after the Dominican priest received episcopal consecration from the exiled prelate.

    It seems Msgr. Guerard justifiable to make such a statement because unlike most traditional bishops and priests, he was an experienced theologian who helped Pius XII define the dogma of the Assumption and worked with Popes John XXIII and Paul VI likewise.

    Though his opinion on Pope John XXIII is held by a few sedevacantists, the vacancy, in your opinion or point-of-view, began with what Vatican II pope?

    I think it depends on whether or not you think Roncalli was merely an occult heretic or an open heretic.

    If he was an occult heretic, I suppose he could still be Pope.  I'm not going to be bound by Pacem in Terris.

  • It depends on what you believe the status of Roncalli's election was. Many people believe cardinal Gieuseppe Siri was validly elected Pope, and INVALIDLY stepped down due to unlawful threats. So Siri was still pope when John XXIII was elected. This makes all popes from this line Anti-popes.

    If we are going purely by manifest heresy, it would have to be montini. John XXIII I do not think has enough on him to say that he publically fell from office...though if he was a manifest heretic BEFORE his election it would surely be invalid also.

    Lots of dynamics.

  •   There is no vacancy.

      Pope Michael I reigns from his mom's house in Kansas.

    The Church says that a pope must become a manifest or explicit heretic before we can certainly say he is not a true pope. Paul VI did so when he gave the final approval to the "dogmatic constitutions" after all the bishops of the world met in solemn session to draw them up. The promise of infallibility means the Holy Ghost will prevent a true pope from accidentally doing that. Paul VI did it, therefore he is not a true pope.

    As for John XXIII, he was a doubtful pope. The principle is "papa dubius, papa nullus" (a doubtful pope is no pope).

    Uh....except that the dogmatic constitutions are not dogmatic.

    In which case if one holds that, they should reject all that the doubtful pope introduced as novelties from a doubtful pope - therefore from no pope.

    "Peace on Earth" brought to us by the man whose pet project, the Robber Council 11 (V2) heralded an unprecedented rupture, and world-wide absence of peace in the Church.

    He and his cohorts threw open the Vatican windows to the spirit of the world and its master, Satan --- and then he produced a docuмent about his version of peace on earth.

  • I like to add some information for you, Roman Catholic...

    According to inside sources, Pope John XXIII was a theologically ignorant man according to Fr. Malachi Martin who once worked with Roncalli and Cardinal Augustine Bea.  Due to his ignorance in theology, it was said that Cardinal Giovanni Batista Montini authored many of John XXIII's papal encyclicals including Pacem in Terris.

    Many trads forget the good things Pope John XXIII accomplished:

    1. Excommunicated Fidel Castro and reiterated Pius XII's stance against Communism.

    2.  Forbade women to serve at the altars of the churches.

    3.  Extended the study of Latin by 8 years since many Roman rite priests were deficient in the Church's mother tongue.  His Apostolic Constitution was not recognized by the Primate of the United States because the cardinal was a Modernist.

    4.  Instituted strict regulations in 1961 by banning men with same sex attractions join the religious or priestly life.

    5.  Restored the Latin Vulgate in the Breviary after Pius XII replaced it with his 1950s Latin Psalter.

    6.  Fired Fr. Annibale Bugnini for liturgical iconoclasm & Modernism.  Pope Paul VI reappointed Bugnini to create the New Mass.

    7.  Placed the Divine Mercy diary of Sister Faustina on the Index of Forbidden Books in 1959.

    8.  Added new prefaces in the traditional Latin Mass from the ancient Gallican Liturgy.

    9.  Along with President John F. Kennedy, he also secured the release of a Ukranian Catholic patriarch from Soviet custody.

    10.  Forbade Catholics to read the works of Fr. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin.

    11.  Promulgated in 1960 the unpublished liturgical rubrics made by Pius XII.

    RonCal, I won't comment on your list (at this point) other than to say that it is not the good things that determine a person, it is the negative. A person may be called a "thief", but besides that he may have many virtues, qualities and good works. Ecuмenism has reversed this thinking, now it's supposed to be - overlook the bad and see what we have in common!


    And many times we overlook the negative until we can no longer (with the common good in mind) do so.
    It would be comparatively easy for us to be holy if only we could always see the character of our neighbours either in soft shade or with the kindly deceits of moonlight upon them. Of course, we are not to grow blind to evil

  • There was an individual who gave me negative happy face on the question being asked her.  Such a sad face rating confounds me because I presented an event with a credible source thereby proving its veracity which was then followed by question if Pope John XXIII falls in the same position as Pope Paul VI.

    Hmmm...are you referring to anyone in particular, or is this just a general observation?

    It does happen that a 'negative' can be limited to one's point of view which could be shared by others.   It can be a subjective conclusion.
