[QUOTE="jas3, post: 77618136, member: 447851"] I have looked into them a little, but like you said, the possibility of a restoration of the Church if sedevacantism is true seems too remote to me to be feasible. Yes, through God all things are possible, but the sedevacantist thesis is basically that the Church is in the worst crisis in all of history right now, much worse than the Arian crisis, and with no hope for an orthodox emperor to restore the true faith like there was back then. There is just no scenario that I can see where a billion people with no common authority figure except the man they see as the pope are going to accept that their bishops who were ordained in the new rite (i.e. the vast majority of them) weren't really ordained, their last several pope-saints weren't really popes or saints, and a bishop elected by a conclave of bishops they thought of for the better part of the last century were schismatics is actually the real pope. It would be like the Greek Orthodox church coming out and saying that it had been without grace for the past century and that the Genuine Orthodox were right all along. And that aside, the nearest sede church is several hours away (and may not even exist! They're supposedly CMRI but CMRI doesn't list them on their map), enough to where I can't make that drive regularly. [/QUOTE]
