Do you not reject that dogma by resisting him...just because you recognize him as your pope doesn't mean you have been subject to him. there have been many anti popes in the history of the church, by that fact alone you should realize the possibility Jewgorglio is an anti pope..which he is. Even if you're not convinced you have no basis to be so anti sede. My arguement is you are not erring on the side of caution because if you don't hold the sede position you are either stating
a. Jewgorglio professes the Catholic faith ( he doesn't) or
b.that he is a heretic but since the church hasn't made a declaration he is still pope
what other options are there that I'm missing, please enlighten me. at the end of the day the difference between you and me is you believe you need a declaration from the Church and I don't believe the Church teaches it. In no way am I putting my soul a risk for taking the sede position, you can't prove that. I don't believe in my own opinion, I rely on the church doctors.

No, I accept that dogma, you reject it by rejecting, denouncing, disrespecting and insulting him as pope - as if you have that right. Hopefully you will come to realize this some day while you are still alive.
Think about St. Thomas More's last words. Everyone can remain the pope's good subjects - but God's first. That is what Catholics do.
Your real problem comes from you knowing of his sins. You've gotten yourself convinced that this knowledge qualifies you to make all manner of slanderous, disrespectful and outrageous remarks against him. You've fooled yourself into believing that your knowledge qualifies you to declare he is not the pope and that he has never even been elected.
Newsflash! - this knowledge in no way qualifies you or anyone on earth to declare him deprived of his office, or never to have been elected, but now you've given into this and blindly embrace it - and from what I know about it, good luck getting yourself back into reality.
We, as Catholics first, then his subjects, have to continue to obey him as the pope in all those religious matters which fall within the ambit of his authority, unless he should command something which is sinful. This is how Catholics act - they remain the pope's good subject - but God's first, always God's first whether we're talking about the current pope or the first pope it does not matter, always God's first.
And as pope, he is entirely capable of commanding something that is sinful, which has been proven over the last +50 years, and the sheeple proved themselves fooled, because they obeyed sinful wishes of the pope and hierarchy, because they were not subject first to God - and that is to their shame, they have no one to blame but themselves.
So since you obviously have no answer to the ridiculous question, can we agree that your answer must be that, because sedevacantism is intrinsically anarchistic, that no good comes from sedevacantism?
Oh, and please cease quoting Catholic saints in your effort to vindicate your sedevacantism, if you want to actually make an impact with quotes, then only quote from sedevacantist saints and popes please. Thank you.
