I wish I could do a "fill in the blank" poll of sedes and ask the following questions:
1. Was John XXIII a pope? If not, was he ever pope? If yes, when did he lose his papacy? Why did he lose his papacy?
2. Was Paul VI...
3. Was JPI...
4. Was JPII...
5. Was Benedict...
6. Was Francis...
If I polled 1,000 sedes, I'd get 1,000 different answers.
