If you really want to go down the so-called rabbit hole, look up Ann Barnhardt. She makes a compelling case that Benedict never actually resigned and was the true Pope. So... in her trad Catholic world, there is no current Pope.

As weird as it sounds, there are a whole bunch of trad Catholics that ascribe to this theory. Basically they see Francis as the anti-pope. It makes as much sense as anything in our current world.

I love that theory. Evict Francis. Deport him back to Argentina.

It doesn't sound weird to me. I think it can be defended. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
