Taylor Marshall’s False Argument Against Sedevacantists Concerning Trent & The Hierarchy
Taylor Marshall recently made this statement/argument against sedevacantists, but he badly misapplied Trent’s canon.
Taylor Marshall stated: If a sedevacantist tells you that every diocese on earth is vacant, that person has lost the Catholic faith:
“If anyone saith that, in the Catholic Church, there is not a hierarchy by divine ordination instituted, consisting of bishops, priests, and ministers; let him be anathema.” (The Council of Trent, On the Sacrament of Order, Canon VI.)
The canon of Trent that he cites (Canon 6 on the Sacrament of Order) is not about the hierarchy of jurisdiction or governance but rather about the hierarchy of orders instituted by Christ. It has nothing to do with whether the offices of jurisdiction can be vacant. That’s proven by the canon’s reference to “ministers”, which includes deacons (see Chap. 2 of the same decree) who typically did not have ordinary jurisdiction. Marshall cannot face real arguments (his position would be demolished), but he can circulate weak and fallacious ones. He’s a false traditionalist deceiver and a compromiser who denies the Catholic faith by holding, among other things, that the notorious false ecumenist Antipope John Paul II was a saint.
