SEDEVACANTISM IS SAFER THAN YOU MIGHT THINK

Let’s cut to the chase:

Either you believe that Jorge Mario Bergoglio is the pope, or you do not.

Regardless of your answer, there are only two possibilities:

Either he is, in fact, the Roman Pontiff, or he is not.

Thus, we have four possible scenarios:

 

HAPPY BERGOGLIO = POSITIVE OUTCOME

ANGRY BERGOGLIO = NEGATIVE OUTCOME

First scenario: You believe he is the pope, and you are correct.

In this case, if you obey him, you should be safe.

Second scenario: You believe he is not the pope, but he is.

If you think he is an antipope due to all his heresies, and it turns out he is, in fact, the successor of Saint Peter, two further possibilities arise:

a) You are in material schism

You have erred in good faith. After all, you have not rejected Bergoglio because you thought he was the pope. Your intention was not to reject submission to the Supreme Pontiff or the members of the Church subject to him.

Schismatics in good faith (material schismatics), like heretics in good faith, can, by a desire to belong to the Church (votum Ecclesiae), belong spiritually to the Church, and through this achieve justification and salvation (Ott, 1954, p. 311).

b) You are not in schism.

“If someone, for a reasonable motive, holds the person of the pope in suspicion and refuses his presence and even his jurisdiction, he does not commit the delict of schism, nor any other whatsoever, provided that he is ready to accept the pope were he not held in suspicion” (Cajetan, Commentarium, 1540, II-II, 39, 1).

 Third scenario: You believe he is the pope, but you are wrong.

In itself, being mistakenly under the jurisdiction of an antipope would not jeopardise your eternal salvation.

However, we are dealing with Bergoglio here, who happens to be a public apostate and teaches heresies in his magisterium. In this scenario, you would risk losing your soul if you obey him.

Fourth scenario: You believe he is an imposter, and you are correct.

In this case, you should be safe.
