    The idea of a “non-Catholic pope” is a total absurdity on par with the ideas of “square triangles” or “compassionate abortionists.” It’s just this kind of desperate nonsense that drove me away from the R&R camp. I couldn’t take it any more.

    Not if you're a sedeprivationist or else follow more of the Cajetan / John of St. Thomas position.  Father Chazal is correct in stating that many sedevacantists elevate the Bellarmine position to dogma.  Depending on which position you hold on the matter, the V2 papal claimants could be popes secundum quid even if they are heretics (i.e. non-Catholics).

    Popes must be Catholic.
    As a pertinacious, manifest heretic, Jorge Bergoglio is not Catholic.
    Therefore Jorge Bergoglio is not pope.

    One cannot be the head of a body of which he is not a member.
    The one I heard from my SSPX priest today was that sedevacantists are subjectively judging the Pope, comparing it to the parable of the Pharisee and Publican, when we need to remain objective in our assessments. I love Father, but no, participating in idolatrous acts (Pachamama, Assisi, etc.), publicly defaming the Trinity, deriding Catholic tradition, et al, are acts performed objectively. These are not judgments of his interior motivations.

    Yeah, they've long tried to pull off the analogy with a "bad parent".  And even the "faith is greater than obedience" maxim is completely misapplied.  We're talking about obedience not to some simple positive command but subjection to the Magisterium.

    And this whole notion of "judging" someone's interior dispositions derives from a distortion of what "formal" heresy means.  That term has long bee subjectivized in the interest of undermining EENS dogma.

    Yeah, it was tough to hear. He was using the "we've had bad Popes before" argument, which just doesn't apply to men who publicly commit acts of heresy and apostasy. Alexander VI is called a "bad Pope" (which might have more to do with propaganda than truth) but he never did anything through his office as Pope that was antithetical to the Faith.

    • Many prophecies talk of 1-2 holy pope’s, who are killed after short reigns, before the Angelic pope arrives, who then crowns the Great Monarch.  
    .
    There are also a few prophecies who say that the restoration of the Church happens so fast, that people are amazed and taken aback.  As times get worse and evil gets bolder, God will respond in kind.

    Indeed, even the idea of a manifestly heretic Catholic (layman) (not confessing the faith but rather confessing heresy) is absurd, which is the reason why divine law imposes what's known as ipso facto excommunication.

    As I just now said elsewhere:

    If you and I were non-Catholics, we would be outside the Church. Yet according to R&R adherents, somehow the manifestly non-Catholic Bergoglio gets to be pope! The non-Catholic, indeed rabidly anti-Catholic, Bergoglio magically gets to be the head of a body of which he’s not a member. Absurd. Madness!

    Rather:

    Popes must be Catholic.
    As a manifest, pertinacious heretic, Bergoglio is not Catholic.
    Therefore, Bergoglio is not pope.

    No judgement of any council is required, nor possible, as a pope is judged by no man or council of men. Manifest, pertinacious heretics automatically fall from office. This is the way they lose their office, since no man can judge them. That’s assuming he ever actually became pope at all, a notion I reject. Only Catholics can become popes. Bergoglio was a foaming heretic long before he “took office” in 2013.

    One cannot be the head of a body of which he is not a member. There are no “non-Catholic popes.”

    If the Novus Ordo organization is the Catholic Church, then the Church has defected. But we’re divinely assured that the Church cannot defect. Hence the Novus Ordo organization cannot possibly be the actual Catholic Church. Where is the actual Catholic Church? I don’t know. But I’m certain where it isn’t: in Rome, headed by the vile, rabidly anti-Catholic Jorge Bergoglio and his fellow wolves.

    Well, Salza was backed into a corner and had to affirm that Joe Biden is in fact a Catholic in good standing.  Meanwhile, according to him, sedevacantists are outside the Church.

    Unfortunately, it's not quite this simple.  While I lean in this direction, R&R would reject and/or qualify your minor.  They would perhaps argue that pertinacity is established in the external forum only after he remains pertinacious after formal admonition from the Church.  Who is competent to make a finding of pertinacity?  Fr. Cekada's "Aunt Helen"?  Now, it's much easier with Bergoglio, but it would have been much more difficult to establish pertinacity on the part of Ratzinger.

    With regard to the sentence beneath your syllogism, Cajetan, John of St. Thomas, and others distinguish that.  While they agree that no Pope can be judged juridically, the Church must intervene and make a "finding of fact" judgment against Bergoglio before he would be stripped of his office.  Then there's the material vs. formal distinction, that Bergoglio would remain in material possession of the office until the Church declares otherwise.

    Actually, the principles of sedeprivationism (which I strongly favor) reconcile the Bellarmine and Cajetan/John of St. Thomas positions quite nicely, and the quote adduced by St. Robert Bellarmine from St Celestine regarding the case of Nestorius would actually back up sedeprivationism.
