That is not the question. Do you, Verdugo, consider Pope Benedict to be a valid pope?
NYer asked: Verdugo, we are still waiting for your response to Lorica’s question on another thread.
“... do you consider Pope Benedict to be a valid pope?”
We are not interested in whether or not you consider him to be validly elected.
Yes or No
Verdugo responded: I’ve answered that like 10 times. You don’t believe my clear words, and yet you swallow the ambiguities of the post Vatican II “newspeak”, hook line and sinker?
re: “Verdugo, do you consider Pope Benedict to be a valid pope?”
Yes, he is a validly elected pope. He is the pope of the Catholic Church, the 266th pope in the apostolic line of popes which started with St. Peter the Apostle.
Nyer responded: re:”Yes, he is a validly elected pope”.

Verdugo responds: What planet are you people from? You strain gnats, you don’t believe my clear words, and yet you swallow camels of the post Vatican II “newspeak”, hook line and sinker?
Yes, I consider him a validly elected pope. I consider him the pope of the Catholic Church, I consider him the 266th pope in the apostolic line of popes which started with St. Peter the Apostle.
How can any of you look the other way when the Vatican II popes disregard all of the Church teaching, and do what all the popes have condemned with regard to ecumenism. How can you ignore Mortalium Animos? I’ve posted it 100 times, how can any of you ignore all of tradition, just because the current hierarchy is doing it? That is pure papalotry!
• Ignorance is bliss:
Sedevacantes and Papaloters, two sides of the same coin.
The sedevacantes say the popes can’t teach errors, therefore, we have had no popes since Pius XII. The Papaloters say nothing that the popes do is an error, therefore, tradition can be ignored, or has been updated.
The Catholic that follows tradition/antiquity, does not fall into that conundrum.
