Parousia of Jesus Christ Our Lord: Conclavism
Only Jesus Christ is the head of His Church.
For any doctrine to be declared there must be a full consensus of the ancient councils of the Church in accord with true paradosis (teaching directly from the Apostles recorded in the New Testament from Our Lord Jesus Christ) and the Church Fathers who are by definition an exact group ending with and not later than St. John Damascene in the East in the eighth century A.D. and in the West in the seventh century A.D. St. Isadore of Seville and Pope St. Gregory the Great, Pope of Rome (who said that any bishop who declared himself in charge of the whole Church, instead of all bishops, including the Pope of Rome, having no more than equal authority, with Rome among other Patriarchal sees and none of them coercing others, was in fact, the precursor of the Antichrist).

Don't even try to deal with conclavism. The huge problem there is where else but Rome, Italy do you find a history where the early councils and church fathers (first millennium before there were even Cardinals who were created in the early 11th century) and local synods all pointed to an ecclesiastical law by men that allowed the Bishopry/Patriarchy of Rome to be affirmed as the leader (within proper doctrine and jurisdiction - see Nicene and Chalcedonian definitions of that and the ancient creeds as well for doctrinal summations) of Christendom, i.e. the Catholic Church. It is true that before Cardinals, Rome's Popes were elected by acclamation of the local populace and consecration by neighboring Bishops, it would be a disaster to try that now. Before there would be anything recognizable as a center with a head of which world wide Christendom recognized as the earthly leader of the Church, all the Cardinals and Bishops and other Prelates who are Masons have to be publicly excommunicated (by whom?) and all schismed Churches who date from Apostolic preaching have to be reconciled, since relying on authority from a Rome that has been destroyed doctrinally by the Masonic completion of their plan to do so at the Vatican, is now impossible. We would need that much of a world wide body represented and then the huge question is where? Moscow? Out of the question. Constantinople?, been tried and rejected 15 centuries ago. Antioch?, Peter's first Apostolic mission or Alexandria?, third Petrine See (by the preaching there of St. Mark) according to Pope St. Gregory the Great. Not in today's world - never happen. All the ancient Asia Minor centers of ancient major ecclesial import are gone except Byzantium/Constantinople (Istanbul) which only has a small quarter and as mentioned above didn't make it first go around. Please don't suggest anywhere in the United States or the Americas at all since the history to support it is totally lacking. The actual full consensus of the Church Fathers in fact declares that when things get to this point as they have that there will be no reclamation of the former dignity nor authority on earth of the earthly churchmen in terms of universal obedience to a solid world wide ecclesiastical structure, but that we are in the Great Apostasy (no, that is not something the Evangelicals dreamed up - the Church Fathers of the first millennium taught it plainly). When that happens, and it has, we are counseled by the same Church Fathers to await the return of Our Lord Jesus Christ in whatever congregation, no matter how small, we have resort to provided that it is true to the faith, NOTHING else will do. True to the faith is determined by true to the Apostolic paradosis on all points (you need your whole Bible centered on the New Testament for that with the full consenus of the Church Fathers and clear understanding of the history and content of all the councils) and not just saying "Pope!" "Pope!" The scary thing about the only thing that would seem to unite Novus Ordo pan-pagan religionist cultists with the so called Traditional Catholics is both scream for an earthly Papacy to direct every waking moment of their lives. I am an old enough (before Vatican II was ever convened) to remember in person the real Catholic Church and its teaching was conveyed through the Parish Priest and NOT Papal News Bites every so often. The Parish level was where the ordinary magisterium was taught completely and fully and it was based wholly on the bible and centered on the New Testament. The simple and terrible truth is that we have only our small gatherings that are loyal to Christ. The beautiful and simple truth is that the absolute Head of His Church Jesus Christ Our Lord and God and Saviour and King has promised to be with us forever and until and at His return from heaven in the same flesh He ascended in forevermore after that. See Gospel of Saint Matthew Chapter 28, verse 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world. NOTE that it is what He commands, not St. Peter, not Popes etc. But What He, Jesus Christ, commands. We will always have recourse to that. Let us thank Him for that.

Secondarily, one of the insuperable problems with the Novus Ordo sect is their TOTAL lack of an ordinary magisterium that teaches 2,000 year old Catholic Truth. I well remember before V2 that we were taught from the ordinary magisterium by the Parish Priest, who knew what he was talking about, and relied first of all on the Gospel and Epistle of the day for his sermons - they were to the point and taught the Truth of Our Lord Jesus Christ. If anyone, including "popes," were to suggest the things that the Vatican has suggested for decades we would have totally rejected it. Several years of subterfuge and brow beating set the stage for only the church goer willing to compromise and accept the lies of V2 to be left in any great numbers. V2 changed it all from the head of the serpent to the tail. Prior to V2 it was NOT of course a serpent, but instead was the Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ which He by His Almighty power and authority established on His Cross and at His Resurrection and Ascension and at Pentecost by the Holy Spirit. What changed the Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ into a serpent in its stead is this, see: Parousiaof Jesus Christ Our Lord: Vatican New Order sect from the beginning of their Diabolical existence has blasphemed the Holy Spirit and has no forgiveness
Before V2 we were Traditional only in the correct sense, that is of paradosis or following the teaching of the Apostles from Pentecost on. Now there is something called traditionalism as if it were a fad or merely a preference or an excuse to elevate a Pope above everything, but only if it is the "right" Pope. When Peter would have had Christ deny His very mission and the sole means of salvation for us, His All Holy Cross and Passion, our Lord turned to Him and utterly sternly said, "get behind me Satan." See: Mark 8:33
Who turning about and seeing his disciples, threatened Peter, saying: Go [get] behind me, Satan, because thou savorest not the things that are of God, but that are of men.
It is very evolutionary, first we have the Novus Ordo Great Apostasy and then the loyal resistance, it matters not whether they are Novus Ordo conservatives or recognize and resist Traditionalists (Traditionalists - sounds like a cult of minor league proportions, not the size but impact) or Sedevacantists (again sounds cult like) etc. First Satanic thesis and then the antithesis which is ameliorating soft resistance/sort of rejection of the Novus Ordo - then will come in very short order the synthesis of these two by the Antichrist and voila "peace and security" for all - see: 1 Thessalonians 5:3
For when they shall say, peace and security; then shall sudden destruction come upon them, as the pains upon her that is with child, and they shall not escape.
Instead of cowering inside the gates of hell/Babylon and pretending to fight for the truth by wimpering upon deaf ears of seared consciences that have no capacity left to repent, we must follow what Christ said:
CONCERNING THE NOVUS ORDO: Matthew 15:14
Let them alone: they are blind, and leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into the pit.
CONCERNING THOSE WHO HAVE NOT HEARD THE GOOD NEWS YET (and they still exist) Matthew 22:9
Go ye therefore into the highways; and as many as you shall find, call to the marriage.
NO more wasting time and effort and prayer, follow what Our Lord said to do.

Am example below of carrying out the Great Commission, we are all called to do the same.
Apostle St. Thomas in India - His witness there to fulfill the Great Commission of Christ, "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel."
Apostle St. Thomas in India
At the St. Thomas Day celebration in New Delhi on December 18, 1955, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the then President of India, said: "St. Thomas came to India when many of the countries of Europe had not yet become Christian, and so those Indians who trace their Christianity to him have a longer history and a higher ancestry than that of Christians of many of the European countries."
It would be appropriate to cite here an extract from the radio message of Pope Pius XII on 31 December, 1952 on the occasion of the 19th century celebrations of the arrival of the Apostle in India: "Nineteen hundred years have passed since the Apostle came to India [...] During the centuries that India was cut off from the West and despite many trying vicissitudes, the Christian communities formed by the Apostle conserved intact the legacy he left them [...] This apostolic lineage, beloved sons and daughters, is the proud privilege of the many among you who glory in the name of Thomas Christians and we are happy on this occasion to acknowledge and bear witness to it."
There are people who doubt about the apostolate of St. Thomas in India. However, according to the tradition, St. Thomas, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, came to India in 52 A.D., and landed at Kodungallur on the Malabar (presently Kerala) coast. He preached the Gospel to the Brahmin families of Kerala, many of whom received the faith. He established seven Churches there: Kodungallur, Kottakkavu, Palayur, Kollam, Kokkamangalam, Niranam and Chayil. It is also a tradition that he frequently visited Malayattoor hills for prayer. Later, he moved on to the east coast of India. He was martyred in 72 A.D. by a fanatic at Little Mount (near Madras) and his body was brought to Mylapore (near Madras) and was buried there. His tomb is venerated until this day.
This tradition is confirmed by the testimonies of many of the Fathers of the Church. It was not difficult for the Apostle to come to India, because extensive trade relations existed between Malabar and the Mediterranean countries even before the Christian Era. There is nothing to contradict this tradition.
Trade Relationships
Extensive trade relations existed between Malabar and the Mediterranean countries even before the Christian era. The numerous golden coins of the Roman Empire which have been found all over the south, as well as many recent discoveries, offer abundant proof that Roman trade centers existed along the southern coasts of India. While King Solomon was ruling over the Israelites (B.C. 970-930), his warships brought back to his country valuable merchandise supposed to be from Muziris (Cranganore), a defunct international port of Malabar. While discussing the dealings of the Phoenicians with Muziris, the Roman historian Pliny (A.D. 23-79) complained that every year they were sending large sum of money to India for silk, pearls, gems and spices. He also remarked that the Malabar ships were visiting the Persian Gulf, Aden, the Red Sea and Egypt. Pliny, Ptolemy (A.D. 100-160) and the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea give much detailed information about the trading centers of Malabar. Diplomatic relations between India and Roman Empire existed even before the Christian era. There were Jewish colonies in Malabar in the first century.
Traditions
According to the Acts of Judas-Thomas [The two Apostles are meant: 1) Jude Thaddeus and 2) Thomas. Judas Iscariot is absolutely not meant.], which probably originated in the last quarter of the second century A.D. or the first years of the third, the Apostle St. Thomas preached the Gospel in the land of Gundaphares, a Parthian King, during the second quarter of the first century.
Besides this literary tradition favoring a Thomistic apostolate on the north-west borders of Hindustan, there is another, in favor of his preaching among the Dravidian populations of the south where there is the living presence of a strong body of Christians. The findings of Palayur, Arthad, Nilamperur, and so on, the sanctuary of Mylapore venerated as the Martyrium of the Apostle, all bear strong testimony to the reliability of the local tradition of Malabar. It is believed that the bones of the Apostle were removed from India to Edessa during the lifetime of the king under whom he suffered martyrdom. According to Cardinal Parecattil, the first Cardinal of the Thomas Christians, the apostolate of St. Thomas in India is "a tradition not written in papyrus, not carved on stone but buried in the hearts of his (St. Thomas) spiritual children from whom it can never be removed." From time immemorial these Christians were called "Thomas Christians". Tradition has it that the Apostle ordained two bishops, Kepha and Paul, respectively for Malabar and Coromandal (Mylapore). This supposedly marks the beginnings of the first hierarchy of India.
Testimonies
The testimonies of Eusebius (early 4th cent.) and St. Jerome (342-420 A.D.) about the mission of Pantaenus, a Christian philosopher sent by bishop Demetrius of Alexandria, "to preach Christ to the Brahmins and to the philosophers of India" in A.D. 190 affirms the tradition. The testimonies of the Fathers of the Church like St. Ephrem (306-373 A.D.), St. Gregory of Nazianzen (324-390 A.D.), St. Ambrose (333-397 A.D.), St. Jerome, St. Gregory of Tours (6th cent.) and Isidore of Seville (7th cent.) are also notable. In various ways, they speak about the apostolate of St. Thomas, about the Christians of India, and about the priestly succession there. This is also attested to by several ecclesiastical calendars, martyrologies and other liturgical books of the Coptic, Greek, Latin and Mesopotamian Churches.
