This past week on social media, some of my colleagues here at Integrity Magazine were on the receiving end of criticism for arguing that the Synodal/Conciliar Church is not the Catholic Church.>
As has become par for the course, the term “sedevacantist” was thrown around liberally, much like how “antisemitism” is weaponized in the political world. Some seem to think it is the worst insult one can possibly make. It is worth reflecting on the arguments of those who have been using this label.>
In decades past, those who attended “conservative” Novus Ordo parishes and/or Ecclesia Dei and/or diocesan Latin Masses have argued, more or less, that concerns some Traditionalists have with the post-conciliar revolution are erroneous, exaggerated, emotional, or even schismatic. They assure us that the institution presently occupying the Vatican possesses the four marks of the Catholic Church, albeit with some “non-infallible” and “ambiguous” aspects needing to be clarified and corrected.
