On the contrary, we keep a good distance, build our own emergency chapels, and condemn their errors loudly and unflinchingly.
The supposed 'Church teachings' they follow are imaginary. Whether or not they have subjectively left the True Church neither you nor I nor anyone but God can judge. Objectively, however, there is no doubt about it.
Why do you need to keep a distance from your own pope?
Now you make yourself pope and try to judge which teachings you will submit to
, whether they be Ex-Cathedra or
Ordinary Magisterium,
and which ones you won't
and you are in
schism:

(emphasis on the word "
legitimate")
So the title of this thread could be
"
To schism or not to schism, that is the question!"
Why do you resist their authority??
Why would anybody need to keep distance from their pope?
That's a very
anti-Catholic notion!
Didn't Jesus promise they would not fail?
"He that heareth you, heareth me" Luke 10:16
The pope and the bishops in union with the pope are the voice of the Church. This voice is used in order to teach each day. Listen to Pope Pius XI stating it with his authority:“The teaching authority of the Church in the divine wisdom was constituted on earth in order that the revealed doctrines might remain forever intact and might be brought with ease and security to the knowledge of men.”
https://cmri.org/articles-on-the-traditional-catholic-faith/papal-infallibility-and-the-crisis-in-the-church-today/
(Note: Is the First Commandment part of revealed doctrines to remain intact forever???)
Are you keeping your distance until the Church is
"restored" to her former glory?

Restoration and Regeneration?
I've heard conservative and trad priests and pundits talk about waiting for a
a good pope
a "Catholic" pope
who will one day restore and regenerate the Church and its teachings.
Yeah, that's not how it works.
There have been sinful popes but not heretical popes.
Besides, how is it possible that you are qualified to judge
magisterial teachingsbut you are not qualified to see that they are
apostateswho
left the Catholic Church?
You know Pius X and other popes declared indifferentism
is apostasy, right?Didn't all those prelates at VII sign docuмents declaring indifferentism to the whole world?
That really happened.
They put their name on it.
As you said, objectively there is
no doubt they are apostates.
The dangerous problem is, if we worship
in union with apostates who promote the worship of false gods
we also apostatize.
Yikes!
Therefore we must be qualified to know they are apostates or we cannot possibly avoid this mortal sin and
our own removal from the One True Church.
The Council of Laodicea in 365 AD stated, “No one shall pray in common with heretics and schismatics.”
But how do we know? What if they worship demons in St Peter's Basilica but
deep inside believe they are still Catholic?
They might be a formal demon worshiper but not subjectively believe
in their heart and mind that demon worship is not opposed the Catholic faith after all.
What if they believe Allah is God the Father but
inside their heart of hearts still believe they are Catholic?
sniff, sniff...ugh!

I wouldn't try that argument with God on judgement day. smh
St. Cyril of Alexandria echoed these same sentiments when he said, “It is therefore unlawful, and a profanation, and an act the punishment of which is death, to love to associate with unholy heretics, and to unite yourself to their communion.”
Unite ourselves to their communion?? Like "una cuм"?
Whoah...
But St Cyril, how can we tell? What if they say Hindu's believe in God the Father
but on the inside they subjectively still believe they are truly Catholic? We simply can't judge such things subjectively can we?

Council of Carthage in the fifth century decreed, “One must neither pray nor sing psalms with heretics, and whoever shall communicate with those who are cut off from the communion of the Church, whether clergy or layman: let him be excommunicated.”
That's scary! Well, it's a good thing we are completely off the hook on this one because
"Whether or not they have subjectively left the True Church neither you nor I nor anyone but God can judge."
Well God will judge their internal forum
but we know that Divine law causes them to be
ipso facto removed from the Church,
which means we should not continue to stay in communion with them and their false religion.
St. Thomas Aquinas, said, “To know whom to avoid is a great means of saving our souls…Thus, the Church forbids the faithful to communicate with those unbelievers who have forsaken the faith by corrupting it, such as heretics, or by renouncing it, such as apostates.”
Forsaken the faith...yep we all saw that!
That makes them unbelievers?
Hmm.."communicate with those unbelievers"
as in worship "una cuм"?
As in remain in communion with?
As in celebrate Holy Mass "una cuм" the demon worshiper and his false church that promotes worshiping false gods?
As in communion with those who say Allah is God the Father and Hindu's also worship God the Father?
We are forbidden to communicate with those unbelievers?
So all the V2 prelates
publicly declared themselves to be unbelievers and we are forbidden
to communicate with them
or any of the esteemed prelates following in their footsteps with their false religion?
Wait, but did they really
leave?
Aren't they just in partial communion? Kind of, sort of...
They presuppose the erroneous view that all religions are more or less good and praiseworthy, inasmuch as all give expression, under various forms, to that innate sense which leads men to God and to the obedient acknowledgment of His rule… to favor this opinion, therefore, and to encourage such undertakings, is tantamount to abandoning the religion revealed by God.”
Let us focus attention on the phrase “tantamount to abandoning the religion revealed by God.” This phrase is another definition of the word “apostasy.” According to Pope Pius XI, to hold to false ecuмenism and to encourage it, is equivalent to apostasy.
Yep. They really left. They left the Barque.
Elvis...all the prelates who signed on to VII have
left the building---
they left the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.
The Sedes didn't leave. They left.
It was the
GREAT APOSTASY
It really happened.

It's sad. Really sad! It requires processing the five stages of grief to accept.
But it's the truth.Our Lord told us this was coming:
“…for the day of the Lord will not come unless the
Apostasy comes first
and the man of sin is revealed… so that he sits in the temple of God… for the mystery of iniquity is already at work; provided only that
he who is at present restraining it,
does still restrain, until he is gotten out of the way” (II Thess. 2:3-4).
So the Great Apostasy comes first and then the RESTRAINER
is gotten out of the way.
Who is the restrainer?? The Katechon.
That would be the pope.
He's gotten out of the way.
Removed.
Sede vacante...
So anyway, we have to make judgements about whom we will pray
in union with (una cuм)
and are clearly qualified to do so
lest we apostatize ourselves!
We must not only
distance ourselves from apostates,
we must not
worship in union with apostates.
We must not
obey apostates.
We must not
encourage others to worship in union with or obey apostates.
We must not
call them priests or bishops or popes.We must not recognize them as
any kind of authority.We must see
apostates for what they truly are.
Apostates are no longer members of the Church.They are
outside the Barque.It is our responsibility to protect our soul.
God will judge
their internal forum on the grounds of "subjectively"
and Divine law
automatically deposes them.
Pope Innocent III:“The Pope should not flatter himself about his power nor should he rashly glory in his honor and high estate, because the less he is judged by man, the more he is judged by God. Still the less can the Roman Pontiff glory because he can be judged by men, or rather, can be shown to be already judged, if for example he should wither away into heresy; because he who does not believe is already judged, In such a case it should be said of him: ‘If salt should lose its savor, it is good for nothing but to be cast out and trampled under foot by men.’”
already judged
good for nothing
A. Vermeersch — Epitome Iuris Canonici, 1949“At least according to the more common teaching; the Roman Pontiff as
a private teacher can fall into manifest heresy. Then, without any
declaratory sentence (for the Supreme See is judged by no one), he
would automatically (ipso facto) fall from power which he who is
no longer a member of the Church is unable to possess.”
without declaratory sentence
automatically
ipso facto
Edward F. Regatillo — Institutiones Iuris Canonici, 1956“‘The pope loses office ipso facto because of public heresy.’ This is the more common teaching, because a pope would not be a member of the Church, and hence far less could he be its head.”
ipso facto
Billot — De Ecclesia, 1927“Given, therefore, the hypothesis of a pope who would become notoriously heretical, one must concede without hesitation that he would by that very fact lose the pontifical power, insofar as, having become an unbeliever, he would by his own will be cast outside the body of the Church.”
by that very fact
by his own will
St. Francis de Sales:“Now when the Pope is explicitly a heretic, he falls ipso facto from his dignity and out of the Church . . . ”
ipso facto
out of the Church
St. Robert Bellarmine:“A Pope who is a manifest heretic automatically ceases to be a Pope and head, just as he ceases automatically to be a Christian and a member of the Church. Wherefore, he can be judged and punished by the Church. This is the teaching of all the ancient Fathers who teach that manifest heretics immediately lose all jurisdiction.”
ceases automatically
not a Christian
not a member of the Church
lost all jurisdiction
"But they haven't been declared heretics formally by the "false" church..."
First why would the false church declare them heretics? They won't.
On the contrary, they declare them
saints!But how can we be sure they really are heretics?
It's not hard.
"A manifest heretic is someone whose error or doubt in faith cannot be hidden by any excuse".It's certainly
not hidden and there is
no excuse.
You don't need a degree in theology to know the First Commandment.
Yeah, there is no excuse for worshiping false gods
or encouraging others to worship false gods.
and there is
no excuse for those who are in communionwith those who do so.
It's just the Freemasonic One World Chrislam church of the nwo, Inc.
Count me out!
God counts them out of the True Church and I'm with Him:
St. Alphonsus Liguori:“If ever a Pope, as a private person, should fall into heresy, he should at once fall from the Pontificate. If, however, God were to permit a pope to become a notorious and contumacious heretic, he would by such fact cease to be pope, and the apostolic chair would be vacant.”
by such fact
cease to be pope
at once
chair vacant
St. Antoninus:“In the case in which the Pope would become a heretic, he would find himself, by that very fact alone and without any other sentence, separated from the Church. A head separated from a body cannot, as long as it remains separated, be head of the same body from which it was cut off.”
by that fact alone
without any other sentence
separated from the Church
cut off!!

So it's really not very confusing at all.
It's very, very simple and easy to see.
It's just hard to accept...
but it's GOOD NEWS!
Why???
Because otherwise, the popes and the Catholic Church are leading souls to Hell
and Jesus was a liar.
No. Jesus was not a liar.
The One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church is still here.
The deposit of the faith is being preserved.
That other thing is a false church and false religion of apostates.
Time to get out!
