Since my conversion, my contact with those who maintain the "home alone" position have been people who have done a lot of damage to the faith of Catholics trying to be good Catholics (not to mention conclavists, Feeneyites, etc.)
but how to refute their arguments? , I have seen them say that some of their arguments are good but their conclusions are bad , however , I have had to watch people on the networks become very sectarian and convince others to take this position . Could someone tell me if there is an article or where they are wrong in their conclusions. I know people, who are good Catholics who want to be Catholic but are getting close to these Home Alone things and sometimes it ends badly, even some degree of despair, confusion or anguish at home.

Hello, Thank you for posting this as it may help dissolve misconceptions. I am Catholic and don't believe that the papal claimants after Pope Pius XII were popes, except possibly for ("Pope") John Paul I. I stay at home but am not alone or sad as I can still adore Our Savior, the Most Blessed Sacrament, by facing Cascia or Lanciano, Italy, where the Host that bled was placed. I read the prayers of the Mass facing Him. Hopefully you will believe me that I am consoled by Him beyond anything, and am forever grateful and in debt. If you have any questions I will try to answer them. Católico

In my opinion "home-aloners" (those who stay away from the Sacraments even though they are available in their area) can be compared with the Apostles who fled in the Agony in the Garden. They don't know how to explain the crisis in our day and age and so hide themselves away from all the Sacraments just as the majority of the apostles did in the upper room. Only Saint John the Evangelist stayed faithful until the end supported by Our Blessed Mother at the Crucifixion. He did not understand everything but stayed faithful in the best way he could and did not turn away from Our Lord's presence. I think that without a good and true Pope to guide us, we must do the best we can until a future true and good Pope reigns from the chair of Saint Peter. If the Sacraments are available to us from non heretical and non Schismatic priests we should avail ourselves of them. Without the Sacraments it is MUCH harder to get to heaven.

The True Mass and sacraments were given us by GOD at GREAT EXPENSE. They are a gratutious Gift for one single Purpose...to save Our Souls. To reject such a Gift because of the opinions of men...or even a person themselves is a grave sin. If True sacraments are with reasonable reach ( in crisis 2 hours or less in the age of motor vehicles)...The Sacraments purpose is not the settling of controversal issues...deciding who is or isnt pope. So no it is NOT Catholic ...it is not why God died for us....to reject is to say to Christ I dont Trust you

I stay at home and do not reject the Most Blessed Sacrament. Quite the contrary.
