For those of my followers who may have become curious about sedevacantism vs the SSPX/R&R position, I am going to be sharing a lot of helpful articles over the next few days that address common false accusations. I will use the hashtags #Sedevacantism and #ReadBothSides.

First, a basic overview of what sedevacantists actually believe: traditionalmass.org/issues/

#Sedevacantism #ReadBothSides

"Traditionalists, Infallibility, and the Pope" by Fr. Anthony Cekada. traditionalmass.org/articles/artic…

#Sedevacantism #ReadBothSides

"Opinionism" by Bp. Donald Sanborn. Does it really matter if Bergoglio is pope or not? traditionalmass.org/articles/artic…

#Sedevacantism #ReadBothSides

"Traditional Priests, Legitimate Sacraments" by Fr. Anthony Cekada. The good of souls is sufficient necessity for operating without ordinary jurisdiction. traditionalmass.org/articles/artic…

#Sedevacantism #ReadBothSides

"Absolutely Null and Utterly Void" by Fr. Anthony Cekada. The 1968 rite of episcopal consecration is invalid, meaning Novus Ordo bishops are not bishops, and the priests they ordain are not priests. traditionalmass.org/articles/artic…

#Sedevacantism #ReadBothSides

"The Grain of Incense" by Fr. Cekada. Why we should not assist at Masses that name public heretics in the Canon. traditionalmass.org/articles/artic…

#Sedevacantism #ReadBothSides

"Bergoglio's Got Nothing to Lose" by Fr. Anthony Cekada. Divine Law bars heretics from election to the papacy in the first place. fathercekada.com/2014/05/07/ber…

#Sedevacantism #ReadBothSides

And even if he were elected, he would lose office automatically through public heresy. "Whether a Heretical Pope Can Be Deposed" by St. Robert Bellarmine. The famous 5 Opinions, in full. novusordowatch.org/de-romano-pont…

#Sedevacantism #ReadBothSides

"Recognize and OBEY is the Traditional Catholic Teaching" by Steve Speray, featuring Pius IX. novusordowatch.org/2019/08/recogn…

#Sedevacantism #ReadBothSides

"The Impossibility of Judging or Deposing a True Pope." If Francis IS pope, you're stuck with him, AND you have to obey him. novusordowatch.org/2016/03/imposs…

#Sedevacantism #ReadBothSides

Speaking of which, take a look at the actual Church teaching on infallibility. "Must I Believe It?" by Canon George Smith, 1930s, reprinted from the Clergy Review: sedevacantist.com/believe.html

#Sedevacantism #ReadBothSides

"Have the Gates of Hell Prevailed?" if you admit a state of sedevacante? By no means. novusordowatch.org/2015/12/have-g…

#Sedevacantism #ReadBothSides

But-but-but sedevacantists are protestants! Nope. "Sedevacantism and Private Judgment." novusordowatch.org/2015/12/sede-p…

#Sedevacantism #ReadBothSides

"But We've Had Bad Popes Before..." There is a difference between a morally bad pope, aka a sinner, and a heretical pope, aka a non-Catholic.
novusordowatch.org/2019/10/bad-po…

#Sedevacantism #ReadBothSides

"But St. Paul Resisted St. Peter to His Face..." but not on a doctrinal matter. novusordowatch.org/2018/06/the-sa…

#Sedevacantism #ReadBothSides

"St. Robert Bellarmine's Teaching on Resisting a Pope" does not mean what you think it means. I think you need to stop using that word. novusordowatch.org/2018/04/bellar…

#Sedevacantism #ReadBothSides

But "St. Peter Denied Christ 3 Times" - yes, but BEFORE he was pope! novusordowatch.org/2018/04/st-pet…

#Sedevacantism #ReadBothSides

You - you "Ultramontanist"! Careful, that's actually a compliment. 😉 novusordowatch.org/2018/01/the-ul…

#Sedevacantism #ReadBothSides

You deny that St. Peter must have "Perpetual Successors"! Sorry, the institution of the papacy is what is guaranteed, not that there will be someone in the chair at all times. novusordowatch.org/2017/06/the-pe…

#Sedevacantism #ReadBothSides

No, "Pope Honorious I" was not a heretic, and neither were Popes Liberius or Alexander VI. novusordowatch.org/primacy-infall…

#Sedevacantism #ReadBothSides

"Who Are YOU to Say Anyone is a Heretic?!" novusordowatch.org/2016/06/questi…

#Sedevacantism #ReadBothSides

"Poor Pope Liberius," who all the semi-trads want you to think was a heretic. novusordowatch.org/john-daly-alle…

#Sedevacantism #ReadBothSides

"Do Popes Have to Be Perfect?" novusordowatch.org/2014/03/do-pop…

#Sedevacantism #ReadBothSides

Where did sedevacantism come from, anyway? Believe it or not, the SSPX. Video on the historical origins by Fr. Anthony Cekada, who knew Archbishop Lefebvre and was ordained by him.

Why did the original "Nine" leave the SSPX? Read the letter they sent the Archbishop. One was Northeast District Superior, another was the seminary rector. traditionalmass.org/articles/artic…

#Sedevacantism #ReadBothSides

"Why Do Traditionalists Fear Sedevacantism?" Believe it or not, due to ancient tribal myths. 😉
