Non Una Cum
Understanding
Sedevacantism & the Non Una Cum Mass
Sedevacantism is a theological position within the Catholic Church that holds the papal seat has been vacant since the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965).
This perspective arises from the belief that recent popes have deviated from traditional Catholic teachings. The Non Una Cum Mass reflects this stance by omitting any mention of the pope during the Eucharistic prayer, symbolizing a rejection of his legitimacy as the successor of Saint Peter.
What is
Sedevacantism?
Sedevacantism is the belief that there is currently no legitimate pope on the papal throne. This position is rooted in several key claims:
- Papal Vacancy: Sedevacantists assert that the Holy See has been vacant since the reforms of Vatican II, which they regard as heretical.
- Rejection of Vatican II: They view the council’s changes as a significant departure from traditional Catholic doctrine.
- Invalid Leadership: According to sedevacantists, popes since Vatican II, including John XXIII and Paul VI, have failed to uphold the true Catholic faith and are therefore not considered valid successors of Saint Peter.
Non Una Cum
Mass
The Non Una Cum Mass is a liturgical practice adopted by sedevacantists. In this Mass, the priest does not mention the pope’s name in the Canon, signaling the belief that he is not a legitimate successor of Saint Peter. These Masses are typically conducted in the Tridentine Latin Rite, which is seen as the pure form of Catholic worship, untainted by modernist influences.
Why Do Sedevacantists
Reject Modern Popes?
Sedevacantists reject the authority of recent popes because they believe these leaders have:
- Introduced doctrinal errors, particularly concerning ecumenism and liturgical reforms.
- Abandoned traditional moral teachings and Catholic worship practices.
- Embraced modernist ideologies that conflict with the Church’s historical stance on faith and morals.
By holding these beliefs, sedevacantists aim to preserve what they view as the authentic and unaltered teachings of the Catholic Church, resisting the changes introduced since Vatican II.

Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle;
be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host,
by the power of God,
cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits
who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
