“Rome” is in schism? In other words the Pope is in schism. Sounds pretty sedevacantist to me. I love these broad brush statements that Lefebvrists use to brush away Catholic doctrines like Papal primacy, the authentic magisterium of Popes and Councils approved by the Pope, interpreted in continuity with Tradition, which doctrines actually predate Vatican II, which did not create a new religion, unlike both the Lefebvrists and the liberal Modernists hold. Thank God for Popes John Paul II and Benedict who have actually been working constructive slowly but surely to steer the Barque of Peter away from the shoals of the so called “Spirit of Vatican II”.

(meant to include this in the previous comment)

Most of us trads harbor no doubt that the present Pope can still issue proclamations validly ex cathedra. And besides, we like the guy. So I don't think we're sedevacantist. He's still head of The Church and legitimately inherited the throne. May be in error on some things. Haven't all popes?
