[Dominick]

Sedevacantism is merely a denial that JPII is a legitimate pope--something understandable, given the Pope's heterodox actions

I suspect you are a sedavacanist.

But it doesn't deny the papacy itself.

Wrong, he was a validly elected Pope.

What are we supposed to make of a pope who gives an abortion activist like Cherie Blair Holy Communion in a private audience?

Who are you to judge the judgement of the Pope on the fitness of Mrs. Blair to receive at the time? Who made you Pope?

How do you know? I wasn't there were you?

"I suspect you are a sedavacanist."

You suspect wrongly. Your problem is you are not used to hearing Catholics criticize the Pope. That you are not shocked that a pope gives a well-known abortion activist Holy Communion without her having first renounced her activity, gives me some indication of the depth of your denial. You want to believe this is somehow justifiable--which flies in the face of reason itself. That is why I say you worship the Pope. You think he is a god above Divine Law itself.
