Who are these people?

The position “sedevacantism” simply means that out of good conscience, we view the Chair of Peter as if it were temporarily vacant. We do not declare anyone to be or not to be Pope. However, due to the present circumstances of open heresy and modernism being taught throughout the world from "Catholic" clergymen and institutions -- without any correction but rather acceptance, even by the hierarchy in the Vatican -- we see no other option whereby we can remain true to our Catholic Faith as handed down by all the Popes and Councils through the centuries. The last forty years in the Catholic Church have seen the rise of Modernism (which is condemned by the Catholic Church - see encyclical of Pope St. Pius X) and all forms of abuses and heresies growing and destroying the souls of the faithful. As Catholics, we can not accept and believe things contrary to the Catholic Faith and the teachings of Jesus Christ. This Catholic conviction (i.e., one cannot obey when it is an obvious matter of sin, of which heresy is the greatest!) thus leads us into the position we currently hold.

Well, there it is. Straight from the horse's mouth.

Other than that statement of their position, their web site is essentially a place holder. Any idea of their origins?

They began in 1999 they say as a missionary society but did not become a Domincan Third Order until 2005.

With the group becoming Dominican, and being from New England, did they hook up with Bp. Robert McKenna from Monroe, Connecticut? While he was ill a couple years ago he had a a priest assisting him at the chapel who did celebrate Mass also in Massachusetts.

Bp. McKenna is not sedevacantist but rather sede-impeditist.

It would be nice if the protesters protested their pro abortionist pols as strongly in the Commonwealth including their two senators.
