I just got back from camp with my Southern Baptist youth group, and one of my friends officially announced that he was converting to Catholicism. However, as we questioned him about his Catholic faith, I began to wonder if he was really going to a Catholic church.
His new Church is about an hour drive from where we live, does services in Latin (I am pretty sure there is a rule now that says all services must be done in the vernacular), and considers all Popes since Pope Pius XII to be Anti-popes. He has also taken up the position that the only way to Heaven is through the Catholic faith, but I have no way of knowing if thats just his church or the stance of the Vatican as well.
I don't believe this to be a cult, but I don't think it is a truly Catholic church. My very quick wikiventure found the phrase "sedevacantism," is that what his new church would be considered?
I am simply looking for an explanation of what he has gotten himself into, and maybe a website with good info
