Simply, all you need is a true pope.

How would a true pope be elected if the new rite of ordination is invalid, as most sedevacantists believe?

Simply, all you need is a true pope.

Blessed simplicity

Less well known is the good old doorkeeper of the College in Majorca, St. Alphonsus Rodriguez, who had been a merchant and was not uncultured, but whose simplicity seemed one of his most delightful characteristics. One day our Lady told him that she loved him. “Oh,” he retorted, “not as much as I love you!” On another occasion, when at recreation, he thought he heard his superior order him to go to India. At once he prepared to set off, and when the position was explained to him, and he was asked what he would have done if he could not find a ship ready to sail: “I should have gone into the water and not come ashore until I had proved that I could go no further.” 21

21 On another occasion, the conversation turned to swimming. He was asked, “Do you know how to swim?” “Why, yes.” And lying on a bench (others say on the ground), he proceeded to demonstrate with rhythmical movements of arms and legs.

Simply, all you need is a true pope.

Right, a "true pope" will snap his fingers and that will be that? Do you mean to say that popes make people sin? (Rhetorical question, I expect no answer)

The last 5 or 6 "true popes" have only served to make matters worse, so no, that's definitely not all you need.

Obviously extraordinary circuмstances call for extraordinary measures.  What follows might be one possible scenario.

By a seeming miracle of grace the rules for appointing a new pope are changed allowing for an angel of God (as in accordance with some prophecy?) to come down and appoint a new one.  The new pope then commands all the prelates of the world to join him in the manner prescribed by the BVM (under pain of ipso facto excommunication) in consecrating Russia to her Immaculate Heart.  Even if only 1 bishop in the whole world joined him that should be enough.  It would be 100% compliance since the non-complying bishops would no longer be a "part of the equation."

Only an extraordinarily saintly pope would have a prayer of reversing the obdurate disobedience of the leaders of the Conciliar Church.  The current cardinals and bishops are largely products and messengers of a spirit of rebellion against the deposit of faith.  Their mass conversion would be in the order of the miraculous, such as only some of the traditional saints have been instruments of.  

Yes, a pope faithful to Catholicism could issue 25+ edicts such as I suggested, but he would also have to be prepared to encounter a hierarchy who disregarded him, even on pain of their excommunication -- because in many ways they excommunicated themselves already decades ago.

I believe that the people must *first* want to repent and do all that goes with that, otherwise, all God's giving us an extraordinarily saintly pope would do, is provoke even more hate and persecution against the Church and faithful.

Without the world's population resolve to repent, an extraordinarily saintly pope would have, not only the hierarchy, but  literally the entire world's population vehemently against him, (minus a small fraction of the population, aka the faithful).

By and large, nobody on earth even believes there is any crisis at all, and those who see the problems, ignore them. We must remember that the people already have what they really want, that’s why they have it. That’s why they’ve chosen it, that’s why they protest and fight for it, and its why they continue to absorb it, cling to it and love it. Overall, they love this thing we call a crisis and will have no holy pope prodding their consciences under any circuмstances.    

"Before man is life and death, good and evil, that which he shall choose shall be given him." Eccl 15:18


If, OTOH, we did end up with a holy pope who went about fixing this mess, as Our Lady at Fatima said, he would have much to suffer, Catholic people would be martyred and nations would be annihilated. Think Antifa, times a few million.  

A complete rehabilitation of the Catholic doctrine of No Salvation Outside the Church. Because it was the weakening of this dogma which paved the way for the novel doctrines of religious liberty, ecuмenism, "human dignity", cordial dialogue and unity with the world, and many other contradictions to the True Faith.

Once the doctrine No Salvation Outside the Church is denied, many terrible problems will beset the Church. People will not think to trace these problems back to the denial of this doctrine; they will not see it, but this is the cause.

I started this thread and I think it's time for a refocus. I was interested in knowing what it would take for you and the hierarchy to be in "full communion" with each other. Thank you MMagdala for a detailed list. That's what I had in mind. I also have several issues I would expect to be addressed.

Nevertheless, an orthodox Rome might not do everything just as we want. What would and wouldn't be critical?

I have met some traditionalist Catholics who focus on certain issues to the point that that I wondered if they would accept a Rome that didn't exactly fit their flavor of orthodoxy.

It's never been about what "we want" (or at least it shouldn't be).  An "orthodox Rome" will bring us back to before the apostasy, before Vatican II.  I did not read everything listed by MMagdala but everything seemed to relate to what came before Vatican II.  Pre-Vatican II Canon Law, pre-Vatican II Sacraments, Pre-Vatican II Catechisms, pre-Vatican II Rites, etc, etc.

Vatican I, a true council, defines a true pope.  So, read and understand Vatican I.  And Vatican I was never finished.  Go figure!
