Something fun (and onerous) from William Oddie:
“Why can’t my brother Catholics get into their thick skulls that the Holy Father needs to consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart in union with all the Catholic bishops of the world. Otherwise, we are all going to die and the world will be destroyed. Sorry, that’s the Truth....In the post-Council Church the Catholic sense of intimacy with the divine has been wholly destroyed!”

Please notice that the previous are literal quotations from sedevacantist (or almost sedevacantist) comments on one of Mr. Oddie's posts. Sedes really are as batshitcrazy as I've described.
And those of you who are sane enough not to fall into sedelunacy but don't approve of my parody need to A) get a sense of humor; and, B) try to purge the traditionalist world of such persons.

Epo,
A) I suggest that you get a sense of humor before attempting satire. I read your parodies, and I must in all charity advise you to keep your day-job.
B) Cut us sedes some slack. Is it our fault we're in the mess we're in? Hey, maybe if your popes started acting like popes some of us crazy sedevacantists might be persuaded that they really are popes.
I have a sense of humour. Your posts have not been amusing. Nor filled with any Christian charity. May God bless all Catholics struggling with the diabolical disorientation of these times. And that includes the sedevacantists.
It seems that low level civil servants, pensioners and street sweepers pronouncing on who is and who isn't fit to be the Pope is a novelty, but a cursory study of history proves that there have always been such people. Such inversion of the social and spiritual order is at least as old as the Lucifer's fall, and there is something sulfurous about the various contributions by those who embrace such anarchic strains of thought.
Don't forget Kings, theologians, Cardinals and Popes.
Tancred,
Don't shoot the messenger.
Look at the reality of the situation: the sanctuary has been defiled; the institutional church has been blasted to atoms; from the lips of our so-called pastors we hear nothing but treason. Therefore, if you hear the street sweepers and pensioners cry "Treason!", it is not necessarily because they are "anarchic" rebels, but rather because treason is what is actually taking place.
I see you guys here like to call the sedevacantists "crazy" and "insane," and, alas, to a great extent this is true. But what do you expect? -- we are sheep without shepherds. For the shepherd has been struck, and the sheep have been scattered. What, do you really expect us to be normal after this?
Oh, and do you believe that your particular faction is, on the other hand, in the pink of mental health and rational consistency? Has this universal plague and chastisement somehow left you alone unscathed and untainted? Hmmm, it might be wise to at least question this assumption.
Remember, God alone is good, and we are at best unprofitable servants. The Immaculate Heart of Mary is faithful. We, on the other hand, are faithless slobs. Therefore, if anyone finds himself sitting on a high horse, I suggest he climb down from it before he gets hurt.
@ George R.
I have great sympathy for Sedes. They did not ask to have no faith in the occupation of the Seat of Peter. However, the most vile comments I have ever seen posted have been on a well-known Sede forum. It was my first visit. And my last. The duration was about 45 seconds and way too long.
True that we are sheep without a shepherd but only because the Shepherd occupying the Chair is a clueless, gracless jester, not because there is no one on the throne. So all we high-riding horsemen (including yourself...and myself) need to do what Our Lady told us to do regarding the pope.
God bless you, and have mercy on the suffering Body of Christ. Hurry the trimph of the Immaculate Heart!
I would never call sedes crazy. If they were crazy, the moral dimension of their witness would be far less. They’re not just messengers, they’re tiny dictators. Thank God most of them don’t manage more than 2 people.
I suggest that if the novus ordo dictators only managed 2 people, we'd really have something to thank God about.
Dane,
I sometimes get the idea that the only traditional Catholics are the ones the devil wants to be traditional Catholics.
Hang in there.
What does that mean? That "sedes" are controlled by the Devil? All traditionals are not sedes nor are all sedes traditionalist.
How true.
Can a Pope be unspoken de facto excommunicated for heresy but continue to sit in Peter's Chair? Some documents say yes.
Fatima is not an Article of Faith. And in today's world Pope's can't go around insulting people. The smoke of Satan.
No, I'm not saying they're controlled by the Devil. All I'm saying (not really seriously) is that traditional Catholics are often so obnoxious and disagreeable that it seems that the Devil himself was allowed to choose them in order to make the true faith appear as loathsome as possible to the rest of the world.
The NO is going to be dead in 50 years.
I'm willing to let Sedes do their thing, but their personal notions about validity aren't infallible, and many of them arrogate jurisdiction on themselves as if they wore mitres.
It's one step below a person who believes he's Napoleon.
Well done, Mr. George R.!
Thank you, all, for getting my point.
