Is there a currently living Pope? If so, what is his name, and where does he live?

Don't be silly. I'm pretty sure you got my point, if not I'll elaborate.

Deep concern is expressed for the faithful lest they be exposed to people who actually believe and practice the faith, (although this group definitely seems to be confused about who the pope is - no doubt due to being scandalized in the past 40 or so years) - yet the spokesman for the diocese has no concern for the faithful regarding the apostate Paulist Center. It is diocesan approved. So are Kerry and Kennedy for that matter.

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.

schism breeds schism after all.

I would say scandal and lack of teaching and defending the faith by Church men has lead to an increase in error and confusion. Sedevacantism is the opposite side of the coin to papalotry.

The papalotrist says, "If the pope says it, does it it must be good." Then he goes on to justify non Catholic practices and policies.

The sedevacantist rightly condemns scandalous actions and policies in the recent past by popes, but he wrongly concludes, "what the pope has done is not good, therefore this must mean he is not actually pope."
