So, in other words, why can't everyone be as open-minded or as smart as Ladislaus? Because really, you seem to think you're the only one with the correct opinion :  sede doubtism.  Isn't that true?


Hardly.  Father Jenkins of the SSPV was the most articulate proponent of this position.  Archbishop Lefebvre and Bishop de Castro Mayer were both sededoubtists if one actually looked closely enough.

Nor is this about what opinion one adopts at the end of the day (Father Jenkins vs. Archbishop Lefebvre).  It's the REFUSAL to acknowledge the great COMPLEXITY of this problem that bothers me.  That's what leads to various disorders.

Bishop Tissier has publicly stated that there's no problem with holding sedevacantism as a private opinion.  Archbishop Lefebvre has said the same thing.  On the other side, so has Father Jenkins.  It's just a question of simple humility and acknowledging that this is not a simple problem.

Humility is the key.  Even if you adopt the SV position, like Father Jenkins, the humility to say that it's not clear-cut and to not be dogmatic about it is very refreshing.

But the sede doubtist opinion is the correct one in your view, right?  In fact, I have seen you write on numerous occasions that is the only "truly Catholic" position.  

Like I said, those who point fingers at others for being prideful ought to take a good hard look at themselves first.
