Is Ann Barnhardt ready to face the truth?

I stopped reading Ann regularly after it became clear to me that the main reason she would not “see” the truth about the Sedevacantist position was due to her own ego.

Of course, she calls us the 1958 Sedevantists, to differentiate us from herself who presumably is a 2022 “Sedevacantist” (just! As Ratzinger died on 31st December 2022).

As I have blogged before, the ONLY objection Ann could ever muster up against us ‘58 Sedes is that an Interregnum of 65 years was “too long”.

But despite my asking repeatedly, she would never answer the obvious question:

When, exactly, does it become too long, Ann?

There is not, nor has there ever been, any rule in Catholic Canon Law, dogma, or anywhere else, that puts a time limit on an interregnum.

So I ask again, Ann, when does it become too long? I really want to know. And as a follow-up question, on what basis do you give your answer? Whatever your answer might be.

The Catholic Church believes and acts on reason, and logic, as well as faith of course, but unlike heretical Protestants, or schismatic Eastern “Orthodox” we so not invoke the blind, idiotic, mask of false “faith” to hide behind whenever simple reason indicates an unpalatable truth.

We can make an educated guess that since Ann has been a Ratzingerist since 2016, which is 58 years after 1958, the “too long” for Ann, is probably between 2 years (the seat of Peter was completely empty for at least this long before, with no physical Pope whatsoever to fill it, real or fake) and 58.

But I still want to know the exact number. Honour would seem to indicate that Ann should expressly clarify this before Bergoglio kicks the bucket. But she is a woman after all, so it’s a little u fair of me to hold her to manly standards of telling the objective truth.

At any rate, my friend Adam Piggott has informed me that Ann may begin to be coming around. She linked to absolute Sedevacantist Steven Speray’s blog and in her latest one she wrote this:

The Bergoglian Antipapacy is right there out in the open, upending doctrine as if such a thing could be done, spewing heresy on a near daily basis, and they just can’t see it. Now don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of people and prelates who DO see it, and choose to do nothing, which is far worse. But I’d say the multitude just can’t bring their intellect into conformity with the obvious, obvious, reality staring them in the face. Of course, the ’58 Sedes would say the same, which puts them more in the right than anyone who would cede authority and obedience to this demon worshipper in white.

So we went from “crazy schismatics” to “more right than everyone except Ann herself”.

Ah, the hubris, I tell ya. Still, it is a shift, of sorts, and God acts in mysterious ways, so who knows, Ann may see the light yet. I sincerely hope so.

I also have received emails from a guy who I blogged about before who went from “Bergoglio is the Pope!” to “Ratzinger is Pope!” To now…

“…errr… okay… maybe… like… you were right all along…”

I respect such people immensely. As we have seen, most humans are utterly incapable of overcoming their own cognitive dissonance and blind spots. So when it happens, it is at least a minor miracle. It’s probably the origin of the saying that when the faithful remain faithful God is pleased, but when an atheist or other lost sheep converts, all of Heaven sings.
