Pope's Forte: Spilling the Beans

“Perpetual” means forever, not continuous.

HMMMmmm...

So; if something STOPPED being 'continous'; for whatever length of time; would that mean that 'perpetual' would no longer be true in that interval?

Fr. Paul Kramer did not become a sedevacantist until Francis issued his heretical, Evangelii Gaudium:

Does Fr. Kramer now subscribe to the sedevacantist delusion that sedevacantists alone have comprised the visible Church since 1958? If so, at this point, he may be doubting his own priesthood.

Regarding Fr. Kramer, you mentioned he was ordained in '76. Do you know anything else about him, e.g. when and where was he born, where did his study, by whom was he ordained, how does he pay for the bread on his table, etc.? Have read his book, "Devil's Final Battle" and watched a few of his Youtube videos, but beyond that, know very little about him, except that he was involved with the late Fr. Gruner and the Fatima Crusade.

I look at it as a pause button. The papacy and primacy of Peter continues until the end of time. At times the Seat may be vacant (as in interregnums), but the teaching of the papacy is until the end of time.

[Elsie]

I see.

This makes a bit more sense; logically.

I also have read the Devil's Final Battle but do not have answers to your other questions. But I need to clarify: Because of Francis' heretical Evangelli Gaudium, Fr. Kramer has declared Francis to longer be a legitimate pope. Fr. Kramer, however, recognizes Pope Benedict to the current, valid Vicar of Christ.

[Prince of Desmond]

Fr. Kramer was ordained in 1976, long after the evil Robber Council.

In which case, how does he know that his own priesthood is valid? The Bishop who ordained him was likely appointed to that position post-council; if all Popes after the Second Vatican Council are illegitimate, how does Father Kramer know that his own ordination was valid? Again---all ecclesiastical authority ultimately flows downward from the office of the Papacy; invalidate that, and how can any ordination or Papal appointment be valid? Sedevacantism necessarily inflicts that manner of logical disconnect. If the chair is empty---where stands the Church?

[BlatherNaut]

Thanks.

I’m just pointing out that, like the Protestants, there are all different flavors of sedevacantism.
