According to sedevacantist logic, "Pope Francis" is an impostor.
Sedevacantists consider Francis (whom they routinely call "Bergolio") an apostate who is not even Catholic.
Despite their apparent erudition, sedevacantists impress me as unhinged people who make the essential mistake of valuing ecclesial "forms" as The Heart of Catholicism while paying scant attention to Jesus' ministry as rabbi/teacher/healer and moral model.
Sedevacantists "play at religion" like a certain kind of "good" student "plays at school."
They get "good grades" but miss the point.
In my limited reading of sedevacantist literature, it seems that the New Testament is cited to validate church authority, structure and tradition while ignoring the heart of The Good News.
Sedevacantists value vengeance, punishment and Shylockian justice over love, mercy, compassion and forgiveness.
"There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love."
1 John 4:18

Reality Check:
- On Sins against the First Commandment - Superstition:"God may be wrongly worshiped either by false worship or by superfluous worship being paid Him. . . . The ceremonies and practices of the Jewish religion signified that the Messiah was to come, and so now, after the coming of Our Lord, they could not be employed without superstition [=false worship]. Inasmuch as falsehood in religion is a grave injury to God, this species of superstition is mortally sinful."

Neo-Traditionalist Spin on "Pope" Francis
- "Pope Francis" - Michael Matt's Wishful Thinking on Apostate BergoglioIn his initital essay on the new "Pope", Michael Matt admits he won't do his journalistic duty of researching the person of Jorge Mario Bergoglio: "forgive me for not combing the Internet for evidence of all the faults and missteps of Cardinal Bergoglio".
- Video: Michael Matt interviews Dr. John Rao and tries to keep hope alive
- Video: The Fatima Center needs a Pope: Christopher Ferrara and "Fr." Gruner fawn over "Pope Francis"
- "A Marian Piety of the Most Traditional Sort" - From a simple act of thanksgiving, Chris Ferrara draws a most uncalled-for conclusion; if Bergoglio is so Marian, why is he an apostate, why does he despise the sacred?
- Video: In Over-Dinner Interview, Michael Matt and Chris Ferrara discuss "Pope Francis"
In what seems to be a more relaxed, more candid conversation, Michael Matt's facial expression is clearly one of concern - so he begs Chris Ferrara to put a positive spin on what is probably beginning to dawn on him is the writing on the wall. - Video: Michael Voris' Vortex in spinning overdrive to create impression of an orthodox "Pope" Francis
