Chris Jackson @BigModernism Sedevacantist Thought Experiment: Retaining an Indefectible Church When the Hierarchy Defects vs. Are you prepared to deny Vatican I? Vatican I clearly teaches that popes will reign perpetually: "[T]he true doctrine concerning the establishment, the perpetuity, and the nature of the apostolic primacy. In this primacy, all the efficacy and all the strength of the Church are placed. (Vatican I, Pastor Aeternus, chapter 1)" (UnamSanctumCatholicm.com, "False Principles of Sedevantism (Part 1)).

Chris Jackson @BigModernism Sedevacantist Thought Experiment: Retaining an Indefectible Church When the Hierarchy Defects If every bishop with jurisdiction defects, and there’s no pope, how can the Church remain apostolic and indefectible?

I, too, had a good friend who is a Sede, but I won't join him because of the infallible Vatican I: Are you prepared to deny Vatican I? Vatican I clearly teaches that popes will reign perpetually: "[T]he true doctrine concerning the establishment, the perpetuity, and the nature of the apostolic primacy.

Chris Jackson @BigModernism Actually, we don’t need to depend on Leo to convert. All we need is one cardinal to realize Vatican II was a sham, declare the See vacant and vote himself pope in conclave and we can have ourselves a great big, beautiful schism. With those who follow Leo being the schismatics. If it can happen with Vigano, it can happen again with a Cardinal. Don’t underestimate God. Last edited 8:03 AM · Jun 1, 2025 · 3,350 Views

Lamont: Cardinal Koch could abandon Benedict XVI’s rejection of a hermeneutic of rupture, and claim that the Second Vatican Council did indeed deny these previous teachings and hence that it is not permitted to uphold them. But this position is untenable for two reasons. One reason is that the magisterial documents upon which the SSPX bases its positions are both clearer and more authoritative than the conciliar texts that might be held to contradict them. Another reason is that it has never, in the more than 50 years since the council was opened, been officially stated that its teachings contradict earlier teachings and replace them; and there are many official denials that this is the case, beginning with the conciliar documents themselves. To state in so many words that the council abolished previous magisterial teachings is a radical rejection of the past 50 years of magisterial teaching, and as such cannot be advanced by the Roman authorities.

He is an honorary fellow in the Faculty of Philosophy and Theology at the Australian Catholic University. Dr. Lamont has taught at the University of Notre Dame Australia and the Catholic Institute of Sydney, where he had the canonical mandate to teach theology from the Sydney Archdiocese. His article, which appears in the January/February 2013 issue of The Angelus , addresses the true root problem. If Vatican II and Tradition are perfectly aligned; why shouldn’t the SSPX, which upholds Tradition, be canonically recognized? We make much of Dr. Lamont’s forceful argumentation our own. —— Cardinal Kurt Koch, President of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, recently made the following s...
