I commend you for posting from tradition.
Now: do you consider Pope Benedict to be a VALID Pope? I don’t want to know if you ACKNOWLEDGE him to be the “reigning” Pope. Do you consider him to be a VALID Pope?
Is he your pope?
Unless you can answer both of these in the affirmative, you’re just spinning your wheels. There are plenty of tradition-minded Catholics at FR who, while disagreeing with the Pope, believe he is a valid Pope.
Please just answer the questions.
Lorica, your a little late to this game.
Just read the links I provided in my previous post concerning statements Verdugo has made. Additionally, probably unknown to you he has been removed from posting to the Catholic Caucus threads.
Sedevacantes by definition, do not believe that B16 is a valid pope. They believe that he is an imposter pope. It's that simple
The people calling me all kinds of names for posting the constant teaching of the Church, have fallen into the same mistake as the sedevacantes, a conundrum (When Catholics who follow antiquity/tradition, do not even need step into debate on those two simplistic, false, conclusions.) Sedevacantesism (he is not a pope because he teaches error) or Papalolotry (he can't teach error because he is the pope).
