Are ‘sedevacantists’ avoiding the issue of apostolicity of government?>

Introduction

This is a short post responding to an accusation against “sedevacantists” and myself personally.>It has been alleged that “sedevacantists” in general place a significantly exaggerated focus on apostolicity of doctrine, whilst overlooking apostolicity of government/succession. While I have typically referred to this aspect of apostolicity as that of succession, both terms refer to the same reality (although “government” is often addressed in the context of the note/property of unity).
