As another discussion tangentially related, Hutton Gibson (Mel Gibson's Father) Identified as "traditional Catholic" and "wrote critically of those who reject Sedevacantism" (actually I think it was sedeprivationism): https://infogalactic.com/info/Hutton_Gibson

Whatever man-made doctrine they subscribe to, catholics are not Christians. It is an anti-Christ, pagan, idolatrous cult. So grateful to have been saved out of it.
I'd respond that I'm critical of non-orthodox, non-catholic "Christianity" as being ahistorical, and also from our view would be considered to be "non-Christian" in a sense (since many non-Catholic protestants seem quick to call Catholics "non-Christian", it only seems fair in response that some Catholics do this in kind).
The ancient Christians attempted to "baptize" pagan practices - essentially tried to remove anything pagan, but still did something like what the pagans were doing. So like around Valentine's Day, say there were pagan festivals of fornication. Christians decided maybe to instead emphasize a love of God and spouses, which is compatible with Christianity, but which was influenced by pagans with their festivals and rites. So, yes I believe Christianity was influenced by paganism in this way, but without being pagan itself.
So ho w do you explain papal robes and headgear with pentagrams and devils? Plenty on the stuff Benedict wore. Or the papal audience chamber? Tip of the iceberg.
well, the top level link kind of goes in to that issue. Some of us follow popes up until the 1950s, and then do have some agreement with you but for different reasons that the Vatican is no longer Christian (or Catholic). I do think Benedict was against Christ and that's why he wore those things you mention. But I don't think this of the popes from the 1950s back to Jesus, which frequently I thought your comment would get in to.
