sure, but in our view these kinds of posters should then go in the direction of sedevacantism, which they often argue much against
because there's also the principle that a "doubtful pope is no pope"; hence, if there is doubt Francis is a Catholic pope, he would be regarded as not a pope - ergo, Catholics have no pope (sedevacantism).
Frequently instead they seem to promote a confusing position of "recognize and resist", where Vigano says Francis is a Catholic pope and won't obey him and then unsurprisingly is "excommunicated" for "schism".
Yes, he is acting just like Lefebvre, which we disagree with (I agree with the sedevacantists over Vigano/Lefebvre or Francis, to be clear). literally just seems like a "lefebvre remix" for our culture today
It also seems unlikely to me that Francis would have allowed Vigano to become "archbishop" and to promote the kinds of views he had done, unless he was basically in agreement with Francis on things
So in our view both Francis/Vigano are working together to attack Catholicism
I believe once a large amount of Catholics become aware Vatican 2 is not Catholic and that the popes since 1958 are illegitimate, that a new pope can be elected who is traditional, and the confusion of Vatican 2 can be put to rest. I don't think half-measures of Vigano or of accepting and going along with Francis are really enough given the problems that exist
