Your whole premise here Matthew, is that YOU don't know of any professing Catholics who avoided the commonly accepted and nominally Catholic hierarchy before a certain period of time, and therefore "home-aloner" sedevacantism cannot be correct.
This poses no problem to "home-aloner" sedevacantism at all, since it is based on false premises from the get go.
I also find it interesting that you talk of "trust" when you have explicitly admitted that the hierarchy has been infected with Modernists and Masons. In other words, you are proposing that a person trust Modernists and Masons.
I know you don't like having me in the Crisis section.
If you feel I am demonstrably wrong in my argumentation in the Crisis section, then why oh why restrict me from posting therein? Wouldn't it make more sense to just demonstrate all the fallacies of my arguments?
And have you not seen my response to you on page 3 of the "Admonishment of CM" thread?
"Another thing the blessed man taught and insisted upon with all was never on any occasion whatsoever to associate with heretics and, above all, never to take the Holy Communion with them, 'even if', the blessed man said, 'you remain without communicating all your life, if through stress of circuмstances you cannot find a community of the catholic Church. For if, having legally married a wife in this world of the flesh, we are forbidden by God and by the laws to desert her and be united to another woman, even though we have to spend a long time separated from her in a distant country, and shall incur punishment if we violate our vows, how then shall we, who have been joined to God through the Orthodox faith and the catholic Church -- as the apostle says: "I espoused you to one husband that I might present you as a pure virgin to Christ" (2 Cor. 11:2) -- how shall we escape from sharing in that punishment which in the world to come awaits heretics, if we defile the orthodox and holy faith by adulterous communion with heretics?'
For 'communion', he said, 'has been so called because he who has "communion" has things in common and agrees with those with whom he has "communion". Therefore I implore you earnestly, children, never to go near the oratories of the heretics in order to communicate there.'"
