I think that, much like this lot, the birthers are going to be around for some time and will use Obama’s presidency to explain any future failings and to invalidate any and all future actions by the US government.

Aw man, thanks for bringing these guys to my attention! I like how they are the extreme breakaway sect of Society of Pope Pius V, who are the extreme breakaway sect of SSPX, who are themselves a breakaway sect. That’s pretty much the lulz.

Please don’t tell me you’re a birther, James…

The Sedevacantists have a series of problems with their philosophy – confusing papal statements with statements ex cathedra, the catholic (worldwide) nature of the Catholic Church and church infallibility based on Biblical teaching – and with their practice, in that there are those who don’t like Vatican II but remain in communion.

Sedevacantists are a small minority within Catholicism who hold that Vatican II was illegitimate and so current Popes and the current Catholic church are shams.

There’s a large body of documentation supporting this and it’s caused enormous headaches for the church in its implications. [I'm not Catholic.]
