The problem is greater than simply the heretical pope and I think your erroneous view of the Church as a mere political unity is what has blinded you.
That's an interesting comment. Usually critics of my ecclesiology accuse me of taking a sacramental view of the Church, or a mystical view in keeping with Pius XII's Mystici Corporis. So I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on why you think my view of the Church is political?
Pius XII also defined membership in the Church based on the visibility of Her members. The point is that this visibility isn't a mere political unity, but a common government and Faith. I believe you focus on the former and act as if the latter is simply unknowable.

Either Pete Vere hasn't seen this or he's not as interested as he thought ...

However, I am still interested. Pete, where are you?

Sadly, this is true. I'd say most "Catholics" today view their membership in the Church as akin to belonging to a political party. They attend a rally ("Mass") once a week (if that) and pay their dues (fill the collection basket), but I bet most of them would be hard pressed to even say the Grace Before Meals prayer. They know the party's mantra ("Peace, Love, and Other BS"), but they have no idea what the party believes.

I hasten to add to the above that the "party" I'm talking about is the Conciliar Church, not the Church. The Church is the spotless bride; the Conciliar Church is a whore.
