Roman Catholic Debates on Sedevacantism

(posted 2/27/15)

As an Evangelical I believe Roman Catholicism is wrong on many doctrinal issues and is not the one true Church as it claims to be. Here are some debates by professed Catholics on the topic of Sedevacantism. Sedevacantism is the view "held by a minority of traditionalist Catholics, that the present occupant of the papal see is not truly pope and that, for lack of a valid pope, the see has been vacant since the death of Pope Pius XII in 1958." Sedevacantists believe this because modern Catholicism has proclaimed doctrines which seem to contradict older Catholic teaching.

As an Evangelical, I believe these contradictions are real and that they therefore provide additional evidence that modern Catholicism is not Biblical. Of course, this doesn't (of itself) disprove the view of those who maintain only the older Catholic teaching. For that, other traditional Protestant arguments need to be employed.
