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.

"We're very concerned for the Catholic faithful up there," said Terrence Donilon, spokesman for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston.

Me thinks he should be more concerned with the influence of the likes of John Kerry, Teddy Kennedy etc. on the faithful up there.

(cont) "They are not a Catholic organization."

But this diocesan approved organization, The Paulist Center is???

I think they are a fairly new SedeVacantist group....schism breeds schism after all.

What is very interesting is that these groups were so very rare only a few short years ago (schismatic groups of any stripe) and seem to be increasing exponentially under our current Archbishop.....13 years and counting.

Someone needs to go to the REAL Catholic pastor of this parish and give him a copy of what you posted. Thus, this "Willing Shepherd" sedevacatist organization would get thrown out of their lease.

I got Pax Christi thrown out of my church by copying information about them -- most widely accepted dissenting group ever -- to my pastor!

They are GONE!
