  Sedevacantism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
One group of conclavists believe that Karol Wojtyła was a heretical antipope, but also accept the Catholic doctrine that there will be a perpetual line of successors in the Papacy.
Sedevacantists (or conclavists), to the contrary, argue that the true nature of the Catholic Church has been successfully hidden from the world for nearly fifty years and that only they have uncovered it, against a plot (usually Masonic or Jewish in origin) to destroy the Church.
Some of mainstream Catholicism considers this a heretical position, and that in accordance with the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church of Christ, adopted at the First Vatican Council in 1870, the visible Church must have a visible Head, and that visible Head is the (Vicarius Christi), the Roman Pontiff.

 Sedevacantism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The word is derived from the Latin phrase "sede vacante", which means "while the See [or Chair] is vacant" and is used in Vatican documents in the interval between the death or abdication of the Pope and the election of his successor.
Another conclavist group elected Victor von Pentz as Pope Linus II in 1994, and a third group elected David Bawden as Pope Michael I on July 16, 1990.
This (allegedly) causes conclavist groups to be clustered around a small number of like-minded individuals who are more inclined to work for the promulgation of their own views than for the glory of God.

 Sedevacantism
Mainstream Catholicism considers this a heretical position, and that in accordance with the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church of Christ, adopted at the First Vatican Council in 1870, the visible Church must have a visible Head, and that visible Head is the Vicar of Jesus Christ (Vicarius Christi), the Roman Pontiff.
Further, sedevacantists are accused of indulging in the logical fallacy of post hoc, ergo propter hoc (coincidental correlation) by confusing the general decrease in religiosity in the Western world for a failing of the Church in particular.
Finally, sedevacantist claims of unity are accused of being mere partisan rhetoric, as there are many groups of sedevancantists and conclavists, each with either their own Pope or no Pope at all and few or no formal ties to each other.

 Preliminary Chapter.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
It was a more important one than might appear to the uninitiated, for the conclavist if he were clever, tactful and sufficiently unscrupulous could render the greatest assistance to his master.
Meanwhile the conclavists ransacked the new pope's cubicle, stripping it bare, while the mob rushed helter-skelter to loot his palace.
With the pope's proclamation some semblance of order was restored in the city, but the perpetual change of ruler, each one introducing new political and personal tendencies, to be grafted on to the traditional policy of the Holy See, caused a feeling of instability, a want of equilibrium, most prejudicial to law and order.

Aldobrandini, his rochet hanging about him in shreds, collected his adherents in the Sixtine, and in both chapels conclavists were soon at work disposing beds and making all preparations as for a siege.

 Catholic FAQs - FAQ: The Papacy
In 1975, Pope Paul VI issued new legislation concerning the conclave which introduced new security regulations, required the cardinals to recite terrifying oaths, and required that cardinals would normally enter the conclave alone.
In the past, cardinals were allowed to have one or two "conclavists" -- secretary-assistants -- to accompany him in the conclave.
He could have three if he was ill. Under the new regulations, only seriously ill cardinals could have an assistant, and then only if they could prove that they needed serious medical attention.

 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.

 Pope Gregory XVI: Proceedings of the Conclave that led to his election.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Albani had now decided on a prelate called Giustiniani to take the place of the disappointing Cappellari, and he sent one of his conclavists in the dead of night to inform his followers of the fact and give them orders for the next morning's scrutiny.
So as to ensure his passing unnoticed Albani had forbidden the messenger to carry a light, with the result that he crept by mistake into the cubicle of one of the Spanish cardinals, who, having realised the portent of the whispered message, rushed to his leader with the news.
But Albani did not consider himself beaten yet, and when a thieving conclavist sold him a letter written by Bernetti to Cappellari giving him last-moment instructions and thus exposing their plans, he made a supreme effort to defeat them.

 SEDEVACANTISM   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The expanding parallel hierarchy of the Enterprise has led to the ultimate aberration of "conclavism." According to the "conclavist" brand of sedevacantism, since the official structure of the Church has effectively ceased to exist, it falls to the sedevacantist remnant to elect a pope.
Thanks to the "conclavists," there are about 20 known anti-popes throughout the world, with at least five claimants to the throne of Peter in America alone (yet another testament to America's entrepreneurial spirit).
While conclavist sedevacantism is an aberrant spin-off of the Enterprise that even the Enterprise "officially" disowns, it is the inevitable outgrowth of the Enterprise's own logic.

 THE SOCIETY OF PISU X, A FALSE SOLUTION TO A REAL PROBLEM   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The author categorizes sedevacantists as either “Rigerous,  “Conclavist” or followers of the Cassiciacum thesis.
Let us first of all consider the latter, which can be superficially characterized as holding that we have a pope who has no authority, but whose authority would return if he returned to the faith.
While it is true that there are a moderate number of  “conclavists” and a plethora of  “popes,” either self elected or followed by relatively small groups of people, the fact remains that the sedevacantist position is in no way tied to such groups.
