  1. As an interested non-catholic I have a few questions, for I don’t exactly understand your take in this conflict. If it is your position that Benedict is still Pope, then tell me what will happen, or what will become of you, if he dies tomorrow while Bergoglio still continues his false pontificate. Will your group become Sedevacantists until Bergoglio dies too, if this happens? Or will Bergoglio somehow become your legitimate Pope after Benedict’s death? What is your overall perspective?

    1. Well as a non-Catholic you perhaps are not aware of the procedures followed when popes die. I recommend reading up on it, and your questions will be answered.
