No, it was not answered, certainly you never answered it - you never answer questions.

To see what an answer looks like, read seven's post. That's answering a clear question with a clear answer.

What Good is Sedevacantism


To know what is "Good" about Sedevacantism , we must first know what it is, and what it represents !

Try this out for size...


What is Sedevacantism?

Sedevacantism comes from the Latin sede vacante, which means “seat vacant.” It is the position held by traditional Catholics who claim that the Papal Seat, the Holy See, has been vacant since the death of Pope Pius XII in 1958.

Sedevacantists believe that the subsequent claimants to the papal office — John XXIII (1958–1963), Paul VI (1963–1978), John Paul I (1978), John Paul II (1978–2005) and Benedict XVI (since 2005) — have been neither true Catholics nor true, legitimate popes.

Sedevacantism owes its origins to the rejection of the theological and disciplinary changes implemented following the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965).

Sedevacantists reject this Council and all its decrees, most notably its docuмents on ecuмenism and religious liberty, which contradicts the traditional teachings of the Catholic Church and denies the unique mission of Catholicism as the one true religion, outside of which there is no salvation.

Sedevacantists also reject the New Mass of Paul VI, promulgated on 3 April 1969, as invalid since it has changed the words of consecration and deviated from the tradition of the Church.

See if That will help you out!

What good does all this do ? ,,,

It reconizes, there is not a true Pope in the chair of Peter, and that a Heretic , cannot be a Pope, or head of the Holy Roman Catholic Church,  Outside of Which their is No Salvation..

Yes, I do have an opposite position to that of sedevacantists, but to state it correctly, and to put it more precisely and clearly so that there can be no misunderstanding in the matter, sedevacantists hold an opposite position to that of the Catholic Church.


As the OP's ridiculous question asked, what good is that?

Precious Blood is in all the sacraments, IF, priests are Truly ordained.  That is what I want, Precious Blood, for the Powers are in the Blood and Body of Christ. Correct!?

No, not wrong, you have still not answered the ridiculous question and proof is, sedevacantism itself is a doctrine of man, not of the Church - so what good is sedevacantism?

That means that there is really nowhere nowadays we can obtain the True Blood, right? Better to stay home alone on Sundays? Please correct me if I am wrong, but it seems to me that you are advocating home-aloneism here and this is precisely a perfect example of what is bad in strict, dogmatic sedevacantism.

This does not happen in sedeprivationism or sedevacantism which is not dogmatic, but merely opinionist.

I clarified it, look at post #84 where I said it clearly enough for an elementary student to understand when I said.... "Yes, I do have an opposite position to that of sedevacantists, but to state it correctly, and to put it more precisely and clearly so that there can be no misunderstanding in the matter, sedevacantists hold an opposite position to that of the Catholic Church."

Now feel free to answer the question, yes, it is a ridiculous question - we both agree on that, but for different reasons entirely.

But you never answered the ridiculous question - what good is sedevacantism?

I already stated my position - sedevacantism is a doctrine of man - and as if you don't know - like all doctrines of man, this doctrine is contrary to the teachings of the Catholic Church. If you cannot understand that, I suggest you look into it a little and stop looking for ways to ignore this fact.

The dogma states quite definitively that it is altogether necessary for the salvation of every human creature to be subject to the Roman Pontiff. . . . do you see that there is no proviso to this dogma saying ". . .unless you don't believe the pope is the Roman Pontiff".?

This can only mean one of two things; 1) that per the dogma, no matter what you think or how strongly you believe in your own opinion, you can never get to heaven because you reject being subject to the pope or 2) sedevacantists have figured out how to get into heaven while positively rejecting being subject to the pope on the grounds they don't believe he is the pope.

For my eternity, I will err on the side of caution and live and die by #1, which paraphrasing St. Thomas More's last words, is to say that I remain the pope's good subject, but God's first.

You?
