If John XXIII through BXVI aren't "popes" then what did St. Malachy mean in the Prophecy of the Popes to call them such? Would he have had a gift to prophesy but miss such a crucial development as lineal apostasy of several consecutive Popes?
Were there any Saints/Private revelations that spoke of such an extended period of antipapacy or sede vacante?
Show me an approved Marian apparition that even once said that a papal election
would one day be invalid, or that any future pope would lose his office by his
commission of heresy. I can't find one. Good Success/Quito, Guadalupe, Rue de
Bac, Pontmain, Lourdes, La Salette, Fatima, Knock, Akita, any others? Not a single
word about the "pope not being the pope." So to be a staunch Sedevacantist these
days fairly demands that you don't have much confidence in Marian apparitions.
Look what's happened to "the Fathers" of Traditio and "the Brothers Dimond."
Meanwhile +Fellay remains more than just a "thorn in the side" of Tradition:
He's highly critical of +Williamson for having committed the "grave error" of
offending our "elder brothers in the faith," by saying things in an interview that he
shouldn't have said in an interview (because it happens to be "illegal" in Germany
and a few other such countries). And this is somehow an unpardonable crime of
indiscretion or worse, that +Williamson has done?
But Now, after having raked his brother bishop over the coals for saying
something that he was actually in the RIGHT for having said (since it affects the
faith of Catholics to know the TRUTH), Bishop Fellay goes and commits his own
conspicuous indiscretion, but of uttering
FALSEHOOD regarding the Faith to a
CNS reporter! And after the fact, when everyone notices his folly, he has tried to
excuse himself by claiming he was "misquoted" or "taken out of context."
Conciliar Rome should be proud of +Fellay, for showing that he can practice the
denial of the principle of non-contradiction, for he accuses +Williamson of serious
indiscretion for telling the TRUTH in an interview, and the former would have
it be somehow unforgivable, but then he quickly demands forgiveness for himself
after his utterinng LIES in an interview -- for which he has a litany of excuses! This
is +Fellay, who presumably did
not flunk Thomistic philosophy in seminary
the way Ratzinger did.
The good Lord has a name for such a servant (See Matthew xviii. 32).
