I do not object to sedes and I don't object to R&R. I was "on the fence" as an "agnostic" on the matter of sedevacantism for decades. before I finally decided for myself what I believed. Because it took me so long to make a decision, I am well aware that there are arguments and theologians in favor of and opposed to sedevacantism.
I do object to anyone and everyone, Meg and Infirmus included, who have no jurisdiction and no competence to have a binding and/or dogmatic opinion on sedevacantism, yet rage (Meg) or slither about (Infirmus) as though they have a dispositive opinion.
I do object to anyone and everyone, Meg especially, who act as though they have access to the interior forum of others. Comments claiming knowledge of "the real reason" of others feigns access to the interior forum of others. Comments claiming knowledge of "the real life" or "bravery" of others feigns remote viewing access to the lives of others.
I do object to anyone and everyone, Infirmus especially, who sets themselves up as judges of heroic Catholics and "white martyrs" such as Abp. Thuc. Neither Infirmus nor anyone else here has a papal commission to investigate Abp. Thuc. After his initial trolling was outed, Infirmus has feigned a facade of dispassionate scholarly investigation—but that is a fraud.
An honest curiosity would have started with a stated recognition that the public record cannot be complete, cannot account for private prayer, cannot account for private works of mercy, cannot account for age and illness, and cannot account for Catholic Action that of necessity required anonymity.
The Vietnamese who suffered greatly in both bloody and "white" martyrdom fully understand that making a public record of such works of mercy would have doomed the earthly lives of the Vietnamese Abp. Thuc helped. One need not be Vietnamese, one need not have been white martyred themselves, to recognize that making a public record of Catholic Action would have imperiled those who lived and still live under the bloody thumb of Vietnamese (and other) Communism. As recently as a year ago, Vietnamese friends reported to me that Catholics were being pulled from Mass and killed by having boiling water poured down their throats.
Only a wicked and arrogant fool would attempt to judge Abp. Thuc without recognizing that the public record is, of necessity, incomplete. Yes, that is an accusation. I accuse Infirmus of being a wicked and arrogant fool.
