[ Today at the Lil' Licit Liturgy we heard the priest praise today's extremist far left march in Washington and then we were told that is is not permissible to oppose Rome on anything.
The blessing and joys of the Shadow Church are as unrelenting as they are ominous]

Although ABS is not one who succors the SSPX, he does think their ideas about sedevacantism are rational and defensible.

Prolly most are aware of a few sedevacantists, one of whom is Rev. Anthony Cekada of "Work of Human Hands" fame who is a very intelligent and a wry and sly polemicist who can be hysterically funny whereas fewer prolly know of his friend, one Bishop Sanborn, another sedevacantist but what is one to do in response to their claims contra the very SSPX they used to be members of before being shown the door/excommunicated and starting the SSPV?
(Having seen the SSPX Schism lead to the SSPV Schism shouldn't we expect the SSP2.5 Schism?)
Messers Cekada and Sanborn don't believe there are any authentic Bishops or Cardinals because Pius XII was the last real Pope and, thus, the subsequent faux popes had no Apostolic Succession and could not dispense Holy Orders, etc.
ABS volunteers to solve the dilemma of how are we going to get a Pope absent any Cardinals to form a Conclave.
ABS thinks that Fr. Cekada and Bishop Sanborn ought to fight a duel with swords with the winner being declared the Pope who will then Canonise the dead loser.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
ABS had been under the impression that either Cardinals or Bishops could convene some meetings (no matter what the meetings might be called) and take up the question as to whether or not Our Pope and Our Cross is a heretic and if they took the decision he is a heretic and he refused to repent of his heresies, they could depose him and elect another Pope.

But, ABS repents of that idea for he has been re-reading this excellent text and it is quite clear that the Pope is judged by nobody least of all by some Gelaro Wearers, all of whom were elevated to the Cardinalate post Vatican Two and most of whom, it is prolly safe to assume, agree with the anthropocentrism and indifference of the Shadow Church now represented by Franciscus.
Now, as much scandalous fun as it might be to see such a move attempted, ABS thinks that Franciscus would excommunicate a few leading Cardinals/Bishops and that would shut down the attempt to judge and depose him.
Who judges the Pope on Earth?
Nobody.
And on Earth, to whom is the Pope subject?
Nobody.
This is just the personal opinion of ABS * who is very aware of the state of the question and the recent translation of St Bellarmine by the estimable Mr. Ryan Grant but ABS thinks that if God is jake with Franciscus then why is ABS expected to seek his removal?
On this site is a lengthy excerpt from Saint Vincent of Lerins which teaches we Christian Catholics (those who follow Christ in the Church He established) that such men as Franciscus are allowed to exist as a test to see in we love Him (God).
Besides, since the opening speech of Vatican Two, the One Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church has refused to reign-in or excommunicate heterodox Bishops (Hell, look at the power/influence of Kasper) and the Bishops are not about to act against Franciscus whom they fear because he would excommunicate any of them who publicly moved against him.
It is His will that Franciscus be Pope, so....
* ABS, who specialises in rebarbative rhetoric and shallow black & white thinking often has a scene pop into his head when he reads the canonical and speculative arguments of sedevacantists (pull up a sede and vacante your mind) and those who oppose them:
