Sedevacantism Is Not The Answer

-It Merely Restates The Problem

Recently, Louie Verrecchio posted "Is Francis Pope? The Debate Widens" in which he spotlighted John Henry Weston's apparent shift on the issue. Over at Barnhardt Podcast, one of Anne's fans posted that "in yesterday’s Taylor Marshall podcast titled, 'Secret Letters? Vigano says Pope Benedict did NOT resign,' in approximately minute 18, Taylor Marshall states that he put up a Twitpoll to his followers, inquiring whether they believe Benedict validly resigned. He is shocked — shocked! — that the poll revealed that 83% of respondents are Benevacantists." Both Anne and Louie are obviously ecstatic that a growing number of the "Tradservative" community is coming to grips with what happened in 2013.

In both cases, donning the party hats is quite premature, to say the least. This Wolf is going to state very emphatically right here, and right now: UNLESS AND UNTIL PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE UTTER CONTINUITY FROM THE PONTIFICATE OF PIUS XII TO THAT OF PAUL VI, SEDEVACANTISM WILL ONLY SERVE AS A GATEWAY TO EXITING HOLY MOTHER CHURCH FOR ORTHODOXY OR FUNDAMENTALIST PROTESTANTISM. Both Louie and Anne seem convinced that the majority of Catholics becoming, at least "Benevacantist", is going to allow us to "vote our way out" of the problem, and acquire a pontiff that is "Catholic". Then— Whew! — we can rest snug in our enclaves while the New Sodom goes to Hell in a Handbasket.

Not so fast, Louie. After a long and convoluted argument where he is trying to convince us that Lifesite News has lost the plot, Mr Verrecchio likewise does so:

"Here, [John Henry] Westen refers to the apparition of Our Lady of Fatima dated July 13th 1917, when she said: 'In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, and she will be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world.'

Understand very well that the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart presupposes a Roman Pontiff who will at long last carry out Our Lord’s wishes. That is to say that an obedient and faithful pope will precede Our Lady’s triumph, a Vicar of Christ who will teach, sanctify, and govern in His name. Likewise certain is that there can be no period of peace in this world if we don’t have the Church. Nor can peace exist if the Church is somehow less than solid in the true faith.

Yes, there is wisdom to the saying, 'It is darkest before dawn.' Even so, let us be clear: The Triumph of the Immaculate Heart will not come when, or because, we have nothing, no Church, no power."

First, let us dispose of Mr John Henry Weston. In a letter he received from Archbishop Athanasius Schneider, who obviously considers himself the Final Word on the orthodox position of Holy Mother Church, the bishop states: "I will not engage in further discussions about the issue of a heretical pope or the validity of Pope Francis’ papacy... We must have a true supernatural view on the current crisis of the papacy, and trust in the Lord, for he alone can and will resolve this."

This concise summation of The Grand Punt of the Tradservative Position, also held by Cardinal Raymond Burke— and apparently the other "Dubia" Cardinals— and Bishop Joseph Strickland, leads John Henry Weston and Lifesite News to conclude that no human solution to the "crisis" exists, and so we must wait patiently for God to work the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart. No, Mr Weston, this Wolf does not concur. If your hero is Bishop Schneider or Cardinal Burke or any of these other "recognize and resist" Clowns, then you should be urging them to do something, humanly speaking, to the extent that their office permits them to do so. The function of the College of Cardinals is not just to prance about in fancy suits at quasi-liturgical functions, and be fawned upon by the "Faithful" and the media, any more than St Paul and the Twelve Apostles considered themselves puppets of the "Supreme Magisterium" of St Peter. The same applies to the bishops. St Thomas Aquinas, St Alphonsus Ligouri, and all the other moral theologians of Holy Mother Church worth their proverbial salt hold that when a superior commits a grave defect regarding his office, it remains to his immediate subordinate to "fill the breach" and call his superior to the proper path.

When it comes to Vatican II and the Conciliar Church, the question is not whether the Vatican should build a railroad, revise Canon Law, retake the Traditional Boundaries of the Papal States, or whitewash the Sistine Chapel. Grave as any of those issues are, the final decision would lie with the Roman Pontiff, and all would submit to even a proposition thought unwise— unless one could clearly show that grave harm to souls would result. But the Popes have no power to change Mass or Sacraments, or utter heretical decrees— and let us not mince words, Vatican II was filled to the brim with rank heresies masquerading as Scholastic Chatter.

To be clear, this Wolf considers Cardinal Burke, Bishop Schneider, Bishop Strickland, and even Archbishop Vigano to be just so many clowns who have their respective clans dancing in the Kabuki Theatre of the Absurd. None of them talk seriously about Our Lady of Fatima, the extent of the "crisis", whether the "sacraments' and "mass" of the Conciliar Church are even valid, nor do they define the current morass, let alone plot a course through it. They are rather content to allow the souls of their respective flocks to remain imperiled by The Great Sacrilege, aka The Abomination of Desolation, and the flailings of "priests" of every shade of the Conciliar Spectrum.

So, John Henry, give your favorite shil— who apparently is Bishop Scheider— a swift kick in the hindquarters, and tell him you at least expect him to start at least sounding like a Catholic. (As Han Solo would tell the Rebels attacking the Death Star: Good Luck. You're gonna need it.)

Now, let us turn our attention to Louie, who apparently thinks that the Immaculate Heart cannot triumph until Pius XIII is happily reigning. And just exactly how, Louie, do we get to that point? Do we concede that the Highly Problematic "Bishops" of the CMRI— of which you currently are apparently proudly affiliated at this point— are the only faithful clerics left and that they must gather in conclave and elect a "pope" who will be universally recognized by all "Catholics" who now hold we have not had a valid pope since John XXIII, which Vatican Council IV (we now seem to be in the midst of Vatican III— aka the "Synod on Synodality") will decree ex cathedra? Or will the College of Clowns... er... Cardinals now suddenly recant of two centuries of Freemasonic Intrigue, repent, rend their garments, seek valid ordination, and pray their rosaries ceaselessly while sprinkled with ashes upon a dunghill and elect Pius XIII, who will see Holy Mother Church to a Happy Ending? (This Wolf is not waiting with bated breath, nor expectant of such an outcome.)

So far as this Wolf is concerned, Mr John Henry Weston does have a point. Even those Popes Louie Verrecchio indisputably thinks were valid, Pius XI and Pius XII, spurned Our Lady of Fatima's requests. And so this Wolf does believe that the very reason Our Lady made those requests was to show Her Children the obvious- that Rome has apostatized and become the Seat of the Antichrist. What was more or less hidden during the pontificate of Pius XI has been exposed by degrees and is now utterly manifest, while meanwhile a whole cast of clowns, from Cardinal Alfredo Ottoviani to Archbishop Vigano are saying everything but what is manifestly obvious.

And to paraphrase PT Barnum, You Ain't Seen Nuthin' Yet. In 2000, the Pontificate of JP2 gave us the Freemasonic Version of the "3rd Secret of Fatima" which they are entirely intent on fulfilling, so that they can roll out their version of the "Triumph of the Immaculate Heart" that will include the Hippie Yippie Divine Mercy "Jesus" calling for Diversity and Inclusion from his Temple in Jerusalem after the Satanic Pederasts in the Seat of the Antichrist have entered Nuclear Oblivion. (The fact that "Nuclear Weapons" are fake and ghey notwithstanding.) (Of course, Mossad and Company must get the Dome of the Rock out of the way and breed more Red Heifers, but, Trust this Wolf, they're avidly working on that.) Louie obviously has not entertained the notion that the "Triumph of the Immaculate Heart" will only occur after the Second Coming when Sts Peter and Paul and the Twelve Apostles perform the Ceremony in a newly consecrated City of Jerusalem, after the "First Resurrection" described by St John in his Apocalypse.

Please note well, this Wolf is not saying that that is what will definitely happen, only that it is an Eschatological Possibility. (As The Shrubbery— George Herbert Walker and George Washington Bush— would put it: "All Options are on the Table.) In summation, this Wolf would fault John Henry Weston for not expecting more from his shills, while he would fault Louie for thinking we MUST have a human solution to this "crisis", and that, ultimately, it lies with the popes.

Meanwhile, the ultimate victim here has been the Sacred Deposit of the Faith, and those "controversial issues", such as Modesty of Dress, marital chastity (which utterly excludes Natural Family Banning), a total ban on usury (which includes using Credit cards and even "digital currency"), and frank discussion of the moral, physical, and bureaucratic plans of the Satanic Pederats.

One final tidbit: The "Rhothschild Dynasty" ultimately appears to trace back to the Orsini Family, which controlled one of those three Mendicant States mentioned so frequently in the historical analyses of these posts. That should surprise nobody who regularly reads this blog.

The Triumph of the Immaculate Heart is coming, one way or another.
