On the other issue, for the purpose of moderating the Religion Forum a "Catholic Caucus" includes every Freeper who currently believes in papal supremacy.
When that decision was made, sede vacante was not an issue. If anyone wishes to further narrowly define the Catholic Caucus to exclude sedevacantists, it should be argued on a separate thread.
“You raised the Orthodox issue at post 24 and it was answered at 31 - so either the caucus must be expanded to “Catholic/Orthodox” or those two posts must be removed. If I don’t hear from you shortly I will remove those two posts.”
Is this a new rule? The original poster claimed the protection of the Caucus label and then proceeded to question whether Orthodox Christians are heretics (the article he quotes also accuses Pope Benedict of being a heretic but that’s another matter). Since when does a poster get to hide behind a Caucus label to attack others and with the result that unless he/she removes the caucus label, his offending post and any responses merely get removed?
I didn't read your posting till this morning. It's alright with me if this has no caucus label at all on it. No big deal.

The sedevacantes believe in papal supremacy. Any Catholic that knows his faith knows that they can't be accused of that. On the contrary, because they believe so much in papal supremacy, they do not believe that the post Vatican II popes are valid post, because if they were valid popes they would not have taught heresy.
The sedevacantes can't be accused of one heresy. They are more Catholic than 99% of Catholics in the world today. All of the sedevacantes I have met, had very large families, they do not use contraceptives. That in and of itself makes them more Catholic than 99% of Catholics.
I think that the problem that the "Orthodox admirers" on FR have with sedevacantes is that the sedevacantes really know the faith, and they are a rebuke to the dumb down Catholics of today. The same viciousness as has been exhibited by the "Orthodox admirers" to the sedevacantes , was previously showered upon the SSPX, but now, they have to control themselves on that matter, because the pope is friendly to them. Sedevacantes, SSPX, strict EENS'ers, all of them really know and LIVE the faith, and thus they are a rebuke to todays typical dumb down Catholics.
That is what is happening here. Thank God we have freedom of speech on FR, or no one would hear anything on FR but the same dumb down Catholicism that is taught at the typical US parish.
