“Because his religion will be brotherhood of Man without the fatherhood of God, he will set up a counter church which will be the ape of the Church, because he, the Devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content, it will be a mystical body of the Antichrist that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ …” 

Venerable Fulton Sheen

“Last night, from eleven to three, I had a most wonderful vision of two churches and two Popes and a variety of things, ancient and modern…. I saw the fatal consequences of this counterfeit church; I saw it increase; I saw heretics of all kinds flocking to the city. I saw the ever-increasing tepidity of the clergy, the circle of darkness ever widening.”

Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich

Be slow to condemn or contemn the so-called 1958 sedevacantists: for they do not compromise. And it is observable that those in the Church who are quick to condemn them are always the first to fly and seek for themselves the spiritual sodomy of compromise with the Enemy: the Modernist Heretics. The effeminate and lukewarm are shamed by those who do not compromise as they do: just as they are shamed by those who refuse false obedience and unholy submission to an apostate usurper squatting on the Throne of Saint Peter: hence the contempt, persecution, and even hatred of those who refuse to do so.  

That being said: The sedevacantists must be corrected on two specific and most fundamental fallacies in their logic: The first being their assertion that the Second Vatican Council was heretical, and the second being their assertion that the vast majority of Priests are now invalidly ordained, resulting in the near-complete invalidity of the Mass and the Sacraments.

On the first point: The Council of Vatican II was not heretical. All heresy is evil, but not all evil is heresy: The rejection of the Finality of Truth by the Council, both in its Documents and in the implementation thereof, was a rejection of Truth: it was a rejection even of Truth Himself, by the modernists. And it certainly paved the way for the acceptance of all heresies, as it was the summation of the deadly synthesis of all heresies: namely Modernism. This was forewarned to us by many Pope Saints, and the Blessed Mother.

However, that does not de facto invalidate either the Pontificate of Paul VI, or even the council which he declared to be non-binding and pastoral in nature. Furthermore, while the New (world) Order Mass is most certainly a physical inversion of the True Mass, and is very lacking in the efficacy of Divine Beauty, real Sacrifice, and even Grace, it does not follow that its promulgation (and even acceptance by so very, very many) abrogated Quo Primum or the True Mass. It provided a means which the modernists have used to “overcome” the Traditional Church and the Mass itself. And yet, it cannot be said that it has overcome the Church at all: it simply gave to the heretics who were hiding therein that thing which they had long desired: and so they were given up to their iniquities. And neither can it be said that the heretics giving to themselves that which they had desired, somehow rendered broken the Apostolic Succession of the Apostles. This simply does not necessarily follow. The Papacy, as the Katekon in 2 Thessalonians Ch. 2, has persisted, albeit weakened and bruised: until the death of Benedict XVI.

Furthermore, it is a fallacy to not distinguish between formal, manifest heresy, and material heresy. It is the formal, manifest type of heresy which separates one from the Church: not material heresy. Therefore the instances of material heresy which can be seen from the Pontiffs since Venerable Pope Pius XII (and others before him) did not, in fact, separate them from the Church. The formal, manifest heresy and apostacy of Bergoglio is another matter entirely.

On the second fundamental fallacy of the sedevacantists: The Priesthood has not been broken, because the Succession of the Apostles has not been broken: therefore the Mass is still valid, and specifically the True Mass, still properly set in Its permanent place by Quo Primum. This is precisely where Holy Mother Church applies the principle of Supplet Ecclesia, and supplies what is lacking in Grace or Form to the Ordained Priest. Deo Gratias. The physical location of the True Church is within the façade built around Her: it is within, and even operating alongside, the False Church spoken of in so many prophesies. Which is precisely why and how Antichrist will impugn Her, and end the Perpetual Sacrifice.

Therefore, to the sedevacantists: Defend now our Holy Mother the Church. Give no consideration to the judgements of those who serve the world: Attend the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Re-enter the Battlefield of Faith, and do not sit idly by while this final battle now begins: For lying on your deathbed, having kept the Faith but having left the battlefield, you will see those who did fight, and who needed you in their defense, and beseeched you for help in this grave hour: and you will be filled with regret.

Therefore: Esto Vir. Esto Sanctus.

Be. Here. Now.
