*In times of health*???

Is that supposed to be an answer?

What exactly is a time of health?

And when do you get to decide when that time is?

But that’s interesting. So the Holy spirit DOESN’T guide the college of cardinals in selecting the new pope.

Then it’s just a man thing, popular opinion or the good old boy network.

So if the Holy Spirit isn’t guiding the church in the selection of the new pope, then just how is the church supposedly being protected from error in faith and morals?

Where is that protection coming from then?

From the sedevacantists of course, whose conclusions are what determines True Catholicism based upon their judgment of what historical teaching says, while they condemn evangelical conclusions as to what is true teaching based upon their judgment of what historical teaching (Scripture) says.

He has in the past, but when the college rebels in apostasy like your father Mr. Luther, He preserves the Church without them and without the heretic they have elected. He leaves us with the work of the numerous past popes to sustain us until such time that a real pope is prepared and chosen by the Holy Spirit, much as the blessed virgin Mary was prepared and chosen.
