yes, how much further do we have to travel down "Francis Blvd" before something substantial will happen. Lord take over and at the same time let your fiathful children enter into redemptive suffering in reparation.
In law, silence does not imply consent or concession. It someone claims Pope Francis is a reptile wearing human skin and the Vatican ignores claim, that does not prove it true or that they tacitly accept it. These days, I think, that latter claim would find more ready accpetance regardless of its accuracy.
Your argument ex abursitate is valid in its own context, but praeter rem in the present case. Because we are not talking about alligator skins, but a canonical argument such as is found at ppbxvi.org which any layman can understand if he wants to. You might like deriding the man you think is Pope, but as a Catholic you should see that your duty is to at least take a look at the canonical evidence (not opinions) that he never was the pope, because Benedict did not resign validly and did so intentionally.
