Answering Moreaux's
"Death Knell Of Sedevacantism"

Instrospecting & Defining "Traditionalism" or "Anti-Modernism"

"4But... false brethren... who came in privately to spy our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into servitude."—Gal. ii. 4 (Douai-Rheims).

His Holiness, Pope Michael forwarded to me an email from a Mr. Joseph Moreaux, wherein he (Moreaux) draws the attention of the public-at-large, and, more particularly, of all Sedevacantists, to his "Challenge" entitled, "Death Knell Of Sedevacantism", purporting to be a definitive, even a fatal, challenge to all Sedevacantists — a final refutation of Sedevacantism such that it could no longer be tenable for honest men.

One must always beware of those who are so presumptious or, perhaps, self-conceited, that they can make so audacious a claim — of a definitive and final pronouncement, that, in the boast, smacks of a layman presuming to exercise Pontifical Infallibility.

Nevertheless, the rules of Catholicism make it obligatory, I believe, for a Catholic to take up such a challenge, presuming it to be a honest difficulty and one that bears on the salvation of souls.

Yet, in so doing, it is necessary to make certain clarifications.

For one thing, we — H.H. Pope Michael and his adherents (of which number, despite my unworthiness to belong to the Church of Christ, I am yet favored by God's grace to be accounted the least of it's members) — are not, strictly speaking, "Sedevacantists", but can be classed as a specie of post-Sedevacantists, called Conclavists.

Secondly, there is a lot of confusion over the definition of the term Sedevacantism, and it is necessary to clear that up first.

Sedevacantism is but one sub-movement within the larger movement called by most of its adherents, as the Traditionalist or Traditionalist Catholic or Catholic Traditionalist Movement. The movement exists, ostensibly, to protest the discardation of Apostolic Tradition — the heart of Divine Revelation — and of hallowed Church Traditions, by the Modernist reformers, and procure a reversion.

However, some, including H.H. Pope Michael, Mrs. Stanfill-Benns and yours truly, object to these names as being imprecise and liable to give a wrong understanding of the movement.

Apostolic Traditions, and Church Traditions are a legitimate and integral part of Catholicism, so that to be Catholic is to be Traditional, or to be Traditional is to be Catholic, and so that there cannot be a Catholic who is not also a Traditionalist, and no one who rejects Apostolic and Church Traditions can be truly a Catholic, no more than there can exist a non-papal Catholic.

Therefore, and since the principal cause for the existence of the "Traditionalist" movement is its opposition to the Modernists and their wide-ranging rejection or, worse, perversion, of Apostolic Tradition, Church Traditions, and a whole range of Catholic doctrines, beliefs and rites, this movement should be more properly called "Anti-Modernism", or the "Anti-Modernist" Movement.

[I have sometimes used the form "The Catholic Resistance" in short, and "The Catholic Resistance To The Modernist Apostasy" in full].

This movement is not a monolithic movement, but is composed of several schools of thought, of which "Sedevacantism" is but one.

"Sedevacantism", strictly speaking, should be defined solely as the denial that the Modernist heresiarchs are Catholic Popes.

This (i.e., "Sedevacantism"), is distinct from the belief, not only of the Lefebvrists, but also of the School, Party or Sect founded by Michel Louis Bertrand Guerard des Lauriers, also known as Bernard Lucien, a French priest and later Bishop in the Thuc lineage, who formulated what is called the Formaliter-Materialiter Thesis, first published in the Cahiers du Cassiciacum, and therefore also known as the Cassiciacum Thesis or Cassiciacanism; another name for which is Guerardism.

The late Wm. Morgan of England, who wrote againt it (e.g. 1 & 2), and who's son, Paul Morgan, is a Lefebvrite priest, preferred to call Guerard's Thesis by the name of Sede-Privationism.

Fr. Ricossa and his organisation, the Institute of the Mother of Good Counsel, based in Rome, Italy, and Western Europe, and including the Belgian bishop Geert Jan Stuyvert, besides Bishops Robert Fidelis McKenna, O.P. (who presides now over the Orthodox Roman Catholic Movement) and Donald Sanborn, etc., hold by this system.

Fr. Wathens is another adherent, though it is alleged that he is also a Feeneyite.

J. Lawrence Case who operates The Catholic Dispatch, has been mischaracterised a Sedevacantist, but is (or was, last I knew) a Sedeprivationist; Case prefers to style this Sede-Impedita, while I had, at one time, defined Case's composite belief as Ultra-Romanism.

Lastly, Sedeprivationism is the same policy that Lefebvrists follow, but without formally defining it as Des Lauriers did.

[Since the preceding five paragraphs could be confusing, I am repeating here the information in a list:
  1. Formaliter-Materialiter Thesis — postulated by Michel Guerard des Lauriers, or "Fr. Bernard Lucien";
  2. Cassiciacum Thesis, Cassiciacanism or Guerardism: Alternate names;
  3. Sede-Privationism — appellation preferred by the late Wm. Morgan;
  4. Sede-Impedita, the name preferred by J. Lawrence Case & Ultra-Romanism, my name for Case's composite belief that goes beyond Guerard's system.]
 For a rebuttal of the false system fabricated by Guerard des Lauriers, see my rebuttal of Donald Sanborn: The Strange New Religion of Donald Sanborn.

Sedevacantists can be further distinguished into Mere Sedevacantists and Conclavists, or post-Sedevacantists. Once it is determined that the Modernist heresiarchs are not Catholic popes, and that the Papacy is factually vacant, Conclavists naturally deduce that it is the duty of Catholics to seek for ways and means to fill that vacancy, as a necessary first step to restore to the Church its natural constitutional head, the Pope, and through him, the Magisterium. Mere Sedevacantists deny this, and are content with remaining merely as they are: deprived of the Pope, but refusing — or claiming that it is not in the power of ordinary Catholics — to procure the election of a legitimate Pope to terminate the Papacy, as the Conclavists claim and seek (or, more properly, sought) to achieve.

Given this divide, proponents of Conclavism have staged at least two, and ostensibly, a third attempt, to elect a legitimate Pope, with the cooperation of all like-minded Catholics who were willing to cooperate.

The first attempt was organized jointly by a Mr. David Allen Bawden and his parents, and by Mrs. Teresa Stanfill-Benns, whose ideas converged so that they teamed up as the "Christ The King Library", and began to propagandize for the need for an election. As part of their effort, and in order to investigate and set out before the public-at-large the legitimate, canonical obligations that militated the election, they co-wrote a quite thick book, "Will The Catholic Church Survive The 20th. Century". Further, in order to publicize as far as possible, they posted this book to most of the persons listed on the late Radecki's Traditionalist Directory, and to several other persons, including to a Fr. Lucian Pulvermacher, etc. An election was conducted in September 1990, which resulted in the election of Mr. Bawden, who took the name Pope Michael. His Holiness Pope Michael resides at Delia, Kansas, the U.S.A. [His Holiness' website: The Vatican-In-Exile; My Microsite: Michaelinum]

Four years later, in 1994, a Dr. Elizabeth Gerstner, a German who had served for a time in the Vatican under Pope Pius XII, organized a second election in Assisi, which finally elected a South African Byzantine-rite priest, Victor von Pentz, of German origin, and who took the title "Pope Linus II". Von Pentz was later consecrated bishop, ostensibly by Archbishop Arrigo-Pintonello. Von Pentz lives in Bishop's Stortford, England, while Mrs. Gerstner resides in the Isle of Wight.

According to Catholic theology, there can be only one pope at a time. Therefore, if some Catholics believe that there is no pope, they are obliged to publicly prove their belief, before they proceed to elect a replacement. This was done by Bawden & Benns in their book, "Will The Catholic Church Survive The 20th. Century". However, the electors of "Linus II" did not do so. Therefore, this attempted election must necessarily be rejected, according to the norms of Catholic theology, as being heretical and schismatic!

After many years of silence in the face of my demands for a justification, the Pentzites sent me a "Statement of Justification" — Von Pentz Statement, 1994. The following is my rebuttal of this statement: Against The Pentzite Papal Claim.

The third attempt was made in 1998, when a Fr. Lucian Pulvermacher, OFM Cap, organized, along with a Mr. Gordon Bateman and others, an election which resulted in his own election, and he took the title "Pope Pius XIII".

However, this third attempt can be safely dismissed out of consideration, firstly, for the same reason as the Von Pentz "election", and secondly, also as it was exposed by Mr. Bateman, upon his discovering the fact, that Pulvermacher had been indulging continually, and even from his seminarian days, in divination by pendulum, which is a form of Satanism, and therefore results in the automatic excommunication of the practitioner [There exists a decree by Pope Pius XII forbidding the use of the divining pendulum and imposing excommunication on those that do]. Pulvermacher has not denied the charge of using the divining pendulum, but has publicly defended his practice by denying that it is illegitimate or Satanic [Lucian Pulvermacher's Occultism].

Mere Sedevacantists can be further divided into two parties, the Chapel-Sedevacantists, who have no qualms in setting up independent chapels and procuring independent priests (and even bishops) and conducting public liturgies, and the Home-Aloners, who affirm that such acts (of establishing independent chapels without Church authorization) are schismatic acts, and result in the excommunications of those who do so or who collaborate with them, such as by worshipping or adhering to these Chapel-Communities. Chapel-Sedevacantists claim exemption from the law on the basis of the Church Law principle of Equity-in-Law (or Epikeia), which has its parallels in most forms of civil law.

Bishops Oliver Oravec, Mark Pivarunas of the CMRI and Daniel Dolan, besides Thom. Sebastian of the SSCR, are Mere-Sedevacantists, or more properly, Chapel-Sedevacantists.

Dr. Eberhard Heller, of the St. Athanasius Group in Germany, and who publishes the Einsicht, is a Chapel-Sedevacantists, and a vehement opponent of Guerardism or Sedeprivationism [See Einsicht, My Reply To Dr. Everard Heller]

Martin Gwynne used to lead a Chapel-Sedevacantists group which included Mr. John Daly and Mr. John Lane, and the defunct Britons' Catholic Library, though the Gwynne group no longer exists (as far as I know).

The Gwynne group was notorious for what smacks of New Age beliefs and practices, propagating, practising and insisting upon such things as herbal diets and alternative systems of medicine, frequent colonic irrigations, etc. It is alleged that the priest who used to serve them, Fr. Philip Shelmerdine, died as a result of these being practised upon him.

Messrs. Daly & Lane form one united group of Chapel-Sedevacantist laymen, which holds or participates in gatherings, conferences, seminars, debates, etc., designed to procure a union of all Anti-Modernists, but despite Mr. Joseph Moreaux's belief that Daly is representative of this school, the facts are far from being so. That Daly & Lane, and their disciples are obliged to go about in an effort to procure a larger unity should be more than convincing evidence that they represent none other than themselves!

The Brothers Dimond, operating out of a "Most Holy Family Monastery", are Feeneyites who exhibit themselves as Chapel-Sedevacantists.

Mr. Patrick Henry, had been ordained a priest by Francis Schuckhardt, who had been himself consecrated bishop by a man named Brown, who had procured consecration from the "Old Catholics". Henry repudiates his ordination as invalid, and is, at present, the most prominent proponent of the Home-Aloner party that I am aware of.

One particular sub-section of Chapel-Sedevacantist is led by a Mr. Gary Giuffre.

This group claims that Ottaviani Cardinal Siri had been elected the legitimate Pope on the demise of Pope Pius XII, and again in 1962 & 1978, but was blackmailed by threats of an Atomic bombing of Rome, a la Hiroshima and Nagasaki, into resigning; since such a resignation was due to duress, i.e., not free, it was invalid, and Siri, who it is claimed, had taken the title, "Pope Gregory XVII" remained lawful Pope and provided for succession by means of hidden cardinals who thereafter elected his successor. These people describe themselves as "Siri-ists", but I describe them as Sirianist.

[Mr. Giuffre's site is http://www.cardinalsiriandtheplotagainstthepope.com. His principal supporter, apparently a Mr. Jim Condit Jr.'s website is http://www.realnews247.com.

Mr. Hutton Gibson, publisher of The War Is Now! & parent of Mel Gibson, actor and producer of the movie The Passion was once a patron to Giuffre and with others allegedly subscribed sums for his research. Both Hutton Gibson and Giuffre once worshipped at St. Jude's, Stafford, Texas, under Fr. Louis Campbell. Recently, Gibson has ceased to support Giuffre and has began to attack his theory. For more information on Hutton Gibson, see http://www.HuttonGibson.com

The matter is confusing. Catholicism teaches that men made cardinals in secret ("in pectore") and not publicized by the Pope who so made them before his own death, cease to be Cardinals with his death.

Malachi Martin included in one of his books a scene where Cardinal Siri is blackmailed into stepping down; in private correspondence, he claimed that he had been present in the conclave where he had carried the threat to Siri, forcing him to resign; Martin, himself, for various reasons, is unreliable, and is, I believe, a plant by the enemy to further confuse Anti-Modernists.

But other evidence has been emerging: Prince Scortesco's Account; Michael Raul Rios's "Who Bewictched Siri?"; Michael Dimond's On Siri; My comments on Sirianism.

Last, but not the least, it is a fact that Siri and the others about whom the claims are made that they were elected and forced to resign under duress, died publicly in union with the Antichurch and its Modernist heresiarchs-Antipopes Roncalli ("John XXIII-II"), Montini ("Paul VI"), Luciani ("John-Paul I") and Wojtyla ("John-Paul II"), so that, under Catholic Law, they tacitly resigned their claims to be Pope — if they had even entertained such notions!]
Further complications are caused by efforts by Jansenist-Old Catholic heretics, Feeneyites and other sectarians attempting to pass themselves off as part of the Traditionalist movement.

Prominent among these are the three Feeneyite factions: Dimondite, led by the Brothers Dimond, operating from their "Most Holy Family Monastery" in Fillmore; Richard Ibranyi and his acolytes, including Philip McCabe; and the more mainstream Still-River faction, of which the English White Racist or Anti-Semite, Thos. Sparks or "Br. Benedict Mary, MICM" and a Patrick Pollock are the particularly prominent exponents of this faction's beliefs on the Internet. The Still River faction has united with the Modernist Antichurch and accepts and submits to its heresiarchs, Wojtyla and Ratzinger, as their "Popes".

There is a peculiar New Age ideology, contrived by neo-pagans and Freemasons, which calls itself "Traditionalism" or "Perennialism"; I will call it "Guenonism".

This neo-pagan religion was founded by the trio of Rene Guenon, an apostate Catholic Frenchman of Liberal, Freemasonic tendencies, Ananda Kentish Coomaraswamy, an Anglican who apostasized to Hinduism, and Frithjof Schuon, an apostate from Protestantism to Guenonism and ostensibly to Sufi Islam.

These three postulate that all religions of the world originated from one single primaeval religion or "tradition", of which these various religions are but historic developments. Both Rene Guenon and Frithjof Schuon pretended to convert to Islam, and one of their prominent disciples, a Palavacini, has become an Ahmadite in Italy, the center of an small group of converts to Ahmadism. Ahmadism is considered a heresy from the Islamic viewpoint, since Mu'Ahmad, founder of Islam taught that his was the "last Revelation", and Ahmad of Qadian taught that he brought new Revelations, fulfilling the expectations of Islam, etc.

Frithjof Schuon later emigrated to North America, where he experimented with Native American paganisms, nudity, group-sex and polygamy. Of particular offense to us Christians, is his pretensions that Mother Mary appeared to him, progressively naked, indulging in ritual sex, and he has painted pictures of this.

The much married apostate Ananda Coomaraswamy has a son, Rama Coomaraswamy, M.D., from his fourth "wife", Luisa Runstedt, an Argentinian Jewess. Rama Coomaraswamy was sent by his father to be educated in the Gurukul University, a Hindu institution established at a prominent Hindu pilgrimage site, Haridwar. Rama Coomaraswamy later married an American Catholic, and ostensibly became a Catholic himself.

Rama Coomaraswamy then progressively became involved with the Catholic Anti-Modernist movement, disputed on the subject with Mother Theresa, and came to be thought a brilliant Anti-Modernist.

For this reason, he was co-opted by Marcel Lefebvre as Professor of Ecclesiastical History at the Lefebvrist St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary in Ridgefield, Connecticut, U.S.A., a position he held for five years until the crisis precipated by the secession of twelve Lefebvrites to form the "Sacerdotal Society of St. Pius V".

Already, before the advent of Rama Coomaraswamy at this seminary, many of the faculty and seminarians were closet-Sedevacantists — at whose discrete dissent Lefebvre connived. Coomaraswamy teamed up with them and reinforced them. Subsequently, the seminary was precipated into a crisis when, shortly after some four of the seminarians were ordained by Lefebvre, they and the Sedevacantist faculty seceded to form the "Sacerdotal Society of St. Pius V", on the grounds that it was unaaceptable for them to cooperate with or obey Lefebvre's command that priests of his sect celebrate services "una cum Papa nostro Ioannes-Paulus secundus" (Latin: "In unity with our Pope John-Paul II").

A year later, shortly after the remainder of this group were also ordained, they too seceded to join this new group. This group, now twelve strong, released a statement or "Confession" on June 7, 1984, protesting their Sedevacantist beliefs.

The 12 signatories of this "Sedevacantist Confession, were: Clarence Kelly, Donald J. Sanborn, Daniel L. Dolan, Anthony Cekada, William Jenkins, Joseph Collins, Eugene R. Berry, Thomas Zapp, Martin Skierka, Thomas Mroczka, Daniel Ahern & Denis McMahon.

Later, many of these seceded from the SSPV objecting to Clarence Kelly's rejection of the validity of ordinations and consecrations by Bishop Peter Martin Ngo-Dinh-Thuc and by bishops of his lineage.

The members of the former SSPV are now organized into three broad groups: Sedevacantists (Thuc-lineage bishop Daniel Dolan), Sedeprivationists (Thuc-lineage bishop Donald Sanborn) and the Kellyites, presided over by Clarence Kelly, who claims to have been consecrated bishop by the Puerto Rican Menendez.

Rama Coomaraswamy has been ostensibly ordained a priest by the Thuc-lineage bishop Lopez-Gaston, who has also "conferred" upon Rama Coomaraswamy the title of "Monsignor". Rama Coomaraswamy now ostensibly functions as an "exorcist".

However, it remains true that, despite all of this, Rama Coomaraswamy has not only NOT distanced himself from the Guenonist heresy, but is very much involved with it, being a particular apologist for Frithjof Schuon, perhaps the most despicable — from the Catholic viewpoint — of the three founders!

He (Rama Coomaraswamy) participates in all the functions of the Guenonists, and is also on the board of trustees or administrators of North American Guenonism, and is also a contributor to Guenonist publications.

One of his particular acolytes is the Schuonite Guenonist William Kennedy, who, like his guru Rama Coomaraswamy, pretends to be an Apologist for Catholic Anti-Modernism!

[The twelve former Lefebvrites, mentioned above were not the only to have intimate contact with Rama Coomaraswamy. Martin Gwynne, preceptor of John Daly and John Lane, too had an intimate contact with him. After Gwynne had divorced his first wife, whom he had married as a member of the "Christian Science" sect, from which he had been "converted" by Lucian Pulvermacher, he had Coomaraswamy flown in to England to bolster his case for custody of his daughter.]
In the 1950s, a Frenchman, Michel Colin, was suspended from the priesthood for fraud and other crimes. Despite this, he went about as a vagrant-priest, pretending to be a priest with valid permission to celebrate the Mass, and thus deceiving several nuns and their convents, for which crime he was excommunicated by Pope Pius XII as a Vitandus (which is one of the highest condemnations of the Church).

Subsequently, and while Pius XII yet lived, Colin declared himself constituted "Pope" by private revelation, took the name "Pope Clement XV" and founded in Lyons what he styled the "Renovated Church of Christ" [See Profiles in Belief, Vol. I, Arthur Carl Piepkorn, Harper & Row]. This was an ultra-modernist sect.

A few years before Michel Colin had died, a Gaston Tremblay proclaimed himself Colin's successor as "Pope John-Gregory XVII" (sic!). Tremblay resides normally at St. Jovite, Quebec, from where he leads his faction of the Colinite sect. There is believed to be another man, residing in France, who claims to be the more legitimate successor of Colin as "pope".

Daniel Jones, of Colorado, U.S.A., and editor-publisher of the once famous Sangre de Cristo Newsnotes, has acceded to the Tremblay sect. For a time, a Sedevacantist or Sedeprivationist bishop, Richard Bedingfeld of South Africa, had also acceded to the Tremblay sect, although it is rumored that he has reverted.
The last phenomenon (I cannot accept that it can be defined as a "movement") is what I call Pseudo-Mysticalism. Like Michel Colin, above, many have taken advantage of the distress and credulity of Anti-Modernists, and sought to exploit them by pretending to have been constituted "Pope", not by election (see the three Conclavist electees, above), but in some pretended private revelation or the other. This includes the sect founded by Don Clemente Dominguez y Gomez in the Andalusian hamlet of El Palmar de Troya, near Seville. [See Resistance Dictionary]

A few years ago, after persistent rumors, Dominguez was exposed as a sexual pervert, a sodomite and who fornicated with his "nuns" — Dominguez was forced to publicly acknowledge these crimes, and he "sought forgiveness for them". This development precipated a crisis, and a large party seceded to form a dissident sect.

It is reputed that Clemente Dominguez y Gomez has died, and that his chief collaborator, Alonso Corral has stepped forward as his "successor" taking the title, "Pope Peter II". If this is true, he would only be the Nth. person pretending to be "Pope Peter II", of whom there are easily more than half a dozen (Julius Tischler, Pierre Dubois, Maurice Archieri, Aime Baudet, etc.)!

Mysticalism or the pretense that someone has been made "Pope" in a putative apparition, is contrary to Catholic doctrine. Catholicism teaches that Public Revelation came to an end with the death of St. John the Apostle, and that after his death, no one could add to, amend or in any other manner alter Public Revelation. Yet, in order to credit the claim that a particular man has been made "pope" in a private revelation is to make that putative revelation obligatory to be believed by all souls, in order that they may confess him as Pope and submit to him, or die in schism and sin. That is, in doing so, one effectively amends, adds to or alters Divine Public Revelation, by elevating a putative Private Revelation to the same status to be believed de fide. Therefore, logically, such "Mysticalist" claims to the Papacy are to be rejected out of hand as being pure and unadulterated heresy!

But there exists a further, though lesser objection to any such claim, and that is that, in order to credit any such claim, we must rely on the putative seer or visionary as the authority for the legitimacy of both his putative apparition and his putative elevation to the Papal Office! Obviously, we have that what is called a "vicious circle"!

But "Palmarianism", the religion founded by Don Clemente Dominguez y Gomez, Alonzo Corral and their accomplices also contradict Catholicism in two other ways:
  1. Major Objection: Palmarianism is predicated upon the pretension that the Papal See is henceforth permanently removed and relocated to the hamlet of El Palmar de Troya, near Seville in Andalusia, Spain, so that, it is no longer the Roman Pontiff who is the Vicar of Christ, but the self-styled Palmarian Pontiff; however, there are far too many infallible documents of the Church, such as Pope Boniface VIII in his "Unam Sanctam", that demands souls' submission to the Roman Pontiff failing which they would be damned! This Palmarian heresy also contradicts the Holy & Ecumenical Council of the Vatican, 1870, in Pastor Æternas [See my pages Romanism & Roman]


  2. Lesser Objection: Palmarianism claims that it has changed the name of the Church from The One Holy Catholic & Apostolic Roman Church, to The One Holy Catholic & Apostolic Palmarian Church. I believe that none of the names "One", "Holy", "Catholic" "Apostlic" & "Roman" can be changed or removed, although I believe that it can be added to, for legitimate reasons and by legitimate authority.
There are something like about a twenty men who claim to have been made "pope" in so-called private revelations made to themselves. The first of these was the French conman Michel Colin, ably succeeded in this age by Gaston Tremblay of St. Jovite, Quebec. A "Fr. Daniel Jones", of Colorado, U.S.A., who has acceded to the Tremblay sect wrote to me objecting to my rejection of the heresy of "Pseudo-Mysticalism" (Dan. Jones' Epistle), to which I wrote a Rebuttal Of Dan Jones & Against "Pseudo-Mysticalism".
The above in detail clarification of the factionalism within, and of the sects which have infiltrated into the Anti-Modernist movement was necessitated in order to remove confusion. Some people tend to confuse sects such as of the Old Catholics, Feeneyites, Colinists, Pseudo-Mysticalists, Palmarian, with the Anti-Modernist Movement, and even with Sedevacantism, being deceived that Sedevacantism is a monolithic movement. Yet others, such as a F. John Loughnan a.k.a. Sean Lachtnain, an Irish-Australian, aided and abetted by his collaborators, Wm. Grossklas and Jas. Akin, maliciously and consciously pretend that these sects are part of the Anti-Modernist or Traditionalist Movement!

It was also necessary to give the detailed description of the actual situation in order to lay the ground for my rebuttal of Mr. Joseph Moreaux's "Final & Definitive", even "Fatal" "Thesis Against the Sedevacantists".

As I have already stated at the commencement, as an adherent of His Holiness Pope Michael, I am NOT, strictly speaking, a Sedevacantist. However, when Moreaux or anyone else attacks Sedevacantism, they attack even us Michaelites, since, the very basis of Pope Michael's election is that, since the Modernist Heresiarchs cannot be Catholic Popes, and the Papacy is (was) vacant, Catholics could act according to the laws and procedures established by the Church over the ages to supply the Church with its needed head — fulfilling which, we have had His Holiness Pope Michael elected Pope.

Therefore, if Moreaux is proven correct, then Mr. Bawden's election is null and void, and we are forced to revert to our deplorable enslavement to public and notorious Satanists such as the present Modernist heresiarch, Fr. Ratzinger (I deliberately say "Fr.", because, according to Catholic principles, his consecration by an invalid rite is invalid).
