I didn't write this, and I'm sorry I don't know where it came from. But it makes a very good point.
One of the sedevacantists strong arguments is this: they claim that if the Pope is the true Pope, then the docuмents of Vatican II are infallible. But since the docuмents contradict the teaching of the Church in her tradition and dogmatic proclamations that their only solution is to denounce the Pope as being a true Pope. On the surface this is an ironclad argument, but the sedevacantist missed one important point.
Consider the following quote from Bishop Gasser of Bressanone. Bishop Gasser was the official and chief editor of the “Constitution on Papal Infallibility” at Vatican I and he spoke to the bishops after the final drafting concerning the clear and exact meaning of this dogma. He says:
==========================================
"If the entire Church should ever face the danger of being led astray through the bad faith and negligence of a pope ... Christ's vigilance ... would prevent an infallible declaration [Si per malum fidem et negligentiam pontificis, universalis ecclesia in errorem induci possit ... tutela Christi ... iudicium tale impediretur,]” (Mansi 52, col. 1212-1214).
==========================================
So Papal Infallibility does not protect us from being exposed to the bad teachings of the Pope, but it guarantees that Christ will not allow the Pope to proclaim such teachings as infallible and thus bind Catholics to that which is not of the Faith.
And Bishop Gasser was absolutely correct, for that is exactly what happened at Vatican II.
In the text of the appendix to “Lumen Gentium”. There in, it says: “the docuмents of Vatican II are only to be considered the teaching of the ordinary magisterium unless a docuмent specifically states otherwise”. And none of them do, thanks to the vigilance of Christ.
So if the council is ordinary (universal) magisterium and not of the extraordinary (solemn) magisterium, then it lacks the form of a general council of the Church. After all Pope John XIII and Pope Paul VI both said it was only a pastoral council. Hence, the question of Papal infallibility (solemn magisterium) is not even an issue, only the principles regarding the teachings of the ordinary magisterium would apply and Vatican II would lose by a landslide, since it can not be proved by previous teachings of the ordinary magisterium and for the most part has already been condemned, by previous Popes.
So the sedevacantist lose this argument and they again show that they do not believe that Jesus Christ is really God, by insinuating that he has no control over who the Pope is. When the people turn back to God, HE will send them a good pastor after His own Heart.
For right now the words of St. Francis of Assisi seem to be appropriate: "for in those days Our Lord Jesus Christ will not send a true pastor but a destroyer". (page 250, Works of the Seraphic Father St. Francis of Assisi)
So no, the Pope is sent by Jesus Christ and as the Church believes and teaches no one can judge him as otherwise. Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church and the Holy Ghost is the soul of the Church. The Pope is the vicar of Christ, but he has a free will, if he does not want to show up at the office, no one can fire him.
