Ask Bishop Sanborn. I know he said that sede impedita actually describes it.
He would, as that fits well with the Thesis...;)

You’re confusing descriptive language with canonical categories.
The Catholic Encyclopedia uses “sede Romana impedita” in a broad historical sense, not as a technical term for papal heresy.

In classical theology and canon law:

  • A sede impedita is a See whose true bishop still holds office but is prevented from acting.
  • A manifest heretic ceases to be pope ipso facto.
  • Therefore the See becomes vacant, not impeded.
This is the unanimous teaching of Bellarmine, Suarez, Wernz–Vidal, Coronata, and the classical canonists.

No AI is needed to see that — just the sources themselves.

Crisis in the Church / Re: My AI discussion with "Francis de Sales"
« Last post by SkidRowCatholic on Today at 04:32:03 PM »
AI isn’t a pet or a living thing, and no one is treating it like one. We all know the "Francis" is just a simulation based on his "style".

People use AI because it can analyze text, synthesize information, and reason through arguments — things pets can’t do.

Talking to AI isn’t about emotional reciprocity; it’s about structured problem‑solving.

That’s why people share AI conversations: not because they think the AI is alive, but because the content of the exchange is useful.

This whole post demonstrates perfectly that what you "feed" the A.I. will help determine its answers.

Fighting Errors in the Modern World / Re: Muh Deagel

The whole Deagel thing is absolutely hilarious to me. They published something about a decade ago that the population of the United States would drop by tens of millions very soon. Instead, the opposite happened.

We've had other Deagel predictions on this site too, including the one from five years ago that you mention. The conversations I have when these come up are pretty predictable:

Me: "Wait, what?"
Deagel people: "Yes, Deagel has connections to the military and the government, so they know this is true that the population of America will decline by a hundred million or so within two years."
Me: "Why?"
Deagel people: "Don't know."
Me: "Who runs the Deagel website, anyway?"
Deagel people: "Don't know."
Me: "What is their basis for these outlandish assertions?"
Deagel people: "They must have good reasons, since they are connected to the government."
Me: "How do you know they have connections with the military and government?"
Deagel people: "Don't know."
Me: "So why is the population of this country going to drop by 25% over the next two years?"
Deagel people: "Don't know."

The whole thing is completely insane.

To the Forum Owner:

Most web sites have a privacy statement, but I don't see any here.

Can you officially post and agree to say to everyone here? . . .

The Catholic Encyclopedia mentions "Sede Romana Impedita" when a pope becomes a heretic. What will Grok say to that? that the Catholic Encyclopedia is wrong? Then will you unquestionably just accept Grok?

You shouldn't be using Grok. You'll be sorry if you don't have the skill to argue with it and feed it necessary information.

It's the cyber format the computer system works with for our natural convenience.

Just hope people don't start treating AI like the world treats cats and dogs!

.

It makes a lot more sense to talk to your cat or your dog than to talk to your computer and think you are having a rational conversation with it to the extent of putting its words into a forum for people to comment on.

First of all, animals in general and especially pets can pick up on their owners' emotions and respond to them to some extent on a physical level. It's not like they are completely oblivious to what their owner is saying. Their interaction with their owner or with other human beings is real on that level. Also, when people talk to their dog or cat, the conversation is usually one-sided. People talk to their dog, but don't expect the dog to respond except to express emotion to react to the emotion of the human. So no one repeats what their dog wags with his tail when they talk to it.

So it's a lot more normal and reasonable to talk to a dog or cat than to talk to a computer and think the computer is actually interacting with you like a living thing. AI is nothing but a glorified search engine, so it makes no sense to think it's a "conversation" to talk to it.

You might as well upload conversations you have with your Magic Eight Ball. :facepalm:

You are not making it clear. It's much simpler.

The status of THE MAN and the status of THE SEE are two different things.

If a pope is an EXPLICIT HERETIC he ceases IPSO FACTO to be pope. That is the status of the MAN.

The status of the SEE becomes impeded and a declaration of fact needs to be had in order for the status of the see to become vacant.

An election can only be held when the status is vacant, not "impeded" by a false pope.


*  canon law specifically has a term "sede impedita".

Unfortunately, you use Grok. Bad choice of a path for you to go down. I've said this long ago. I've had experience with it.

It doesn't sound anything like St. Francis.
Its not Grok.

You don't like what the A.I. says so you blame the A.I.?

Wasn't that what you were complaining to others about earlier?

And I think my "Francis" is superior to yours in every way.

As regards your "red flag"

yum.. yum... :popcorn:
