John Paul II need not lose sleep worrying about any future pope overturning the excommunications of Marcel or the decree of schism against SSPX.

Succeeding popes can supposedly overrule "Quo Primum", but they can't lift the alleged "excommunication" of Archbishop Lefebvre by John Paul II?

I'm convinced that you do think this pope to be a god.

Can you read? I said nothing about the powers of future popes. I have noted the incapacity of one pope (St. Pius V)to bind his successors in matters merely prudential.

Popes may well have the power to lift excommunications posthumously. I am predicting that they will not in the case of dead Marcel or dead anyone else in that schism other than, perhaps, Castro de Meyer. Why on earth would a pope lift such a meritorious excommunication?
