When Jesus Christ overturned the tables of the moneychangers at the Temple (which He referenced as His Father's house), was the Temple a Catholic Church? Or was Jesus there just to do some carpentry work? When, in His youth He was teaching the rabbis in the Temple, was it then a Catholic Church? Were all the worshipers there Catholics? Are you reading Jesus out of the Church as a Heretic? Interesting.

Also, Peter, a decidedly pre-Vatican II figure in Chrch history got grief for eating with non-Jews (presumably also non-Catholics). Does that mean that Peter, our very first pope was also excommunicated? Other than the fact that we are not told of Peter or any apostle being baptized.

Sede vacantism is NOT Catholicism. You have a problem with religious liberty? Why am I not surprised? What do you suppose true ecumenism would be?

And, oh how convenient is your claim that "The Catholic Church and the Catholic Faith is still alive and well in those who believe it and profess it." This means that the Church founded by Jesus Christ exists only among those who are sedevacantists and agree with your eccentric views.

That will give schismatics hope that, in spite of Marcel's massacre of his priestly vow of obedience, in spite of his defiant disobedience in taking upon himself the papal role of choosing and consecrating bishops of his own choosing against the direct orders of Pope St. John Paul II, despite his having been excommunicated and dying apparently quite unrepentant, old Marcel may have made it to heaven after all. Don't bet the eternal disposition of your soul on it.

The Catholic Church began after the Resurrection and after the Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles. Why am I not surprised that you don’t even know this basic teaching of the Catholic Church.

Eating vs praying....you see no distinction there...again, not surprised.

What lengths the Modernists will go to rationalize that their new religion really is the Catholic religion.

And still no explanation for the contradictions in teachings post Vatican II.....
