So you equate a temporary, time restricted "vacancy" due to the death of the pope with the so-called "decades" of "anti-popes" that you and your ilk attribute to the Church?

No he is speaking of your comment:

"If the seat of Rome is "vacant" or in need of "reproval", then the gates of hell have prevailed"

In which you stated as much, perhaps you didn't mean what you said. And what exactly do you mean by "your ilk"?

"your ilk" = those who believe they are holier than the Church.

And my response to Grey Ghost is that the only way to contest my statement was to take it out of context. By HIS definition, we're all sede vacantists when the Pope dies. That's not the common interpretation of the term, and he knows what I meant when I said it.
