| | Another Pope Dies: Clemente Dominguez of Palmar de Troya, 1946-2005 |
 | | A large majority of Sedevacantists dismiss as non-canonical, and even ridiculous, the very idea that they could convene a conclave and elect a Pope of their own; they prefer to wait for a solution to come directly, and perhaps unpredictably, from God, whose ways, they say, are after all not human ways. |
 | | Conclavists realize nonetheless that, should a conclave be organized, the majority of the Sedevacantist Bishops would refuse to attend it, and some groups regard a conclave as certainly desirable but, at least for the time being, impracticable. |
 | | Attempts have been made to organize a conclave, however: in 1994, for example, some twenty Sedevacantist Bishops from twelve different countries met in Assisi, Italy, and elected as Pope a South African priest (and former student at Lefebvre’s seminary), Victor Von Pentz, under the name of Linus II. |
