I feel just as you do about Benedict and Francis - but then I read the Lectio Divina on yesterday's Gospel in "Magnificat", and come across a quote from Francis which I find really enlightening.<br /><br />One commenter suggests the basis for sedevacantism is public heresy on the part of post-VII popes before Mr Grumpyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05317128956060393033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8940364093450837549.post-34980010934467669092016-11-07T01:25:58.933+00:002016-11-07T01:25:58.933+00:00What sin should sedevacantists confess and repent ...What sin should sedevacantists confess and repent from in order to return to a state of grace?

Whether or not he 'teaches from the chair' he still teaches and has influence because he IS the Pope. He is a bad Pope, but still is our Holy Father. I am NOT saying that he is a bad 'person', that is quite different from saying that he is a bad 'Pope'.
