False Views of the Papacy: Hyperpapalism, Sedevacantism, and Synodality (Guest: Fr. Jason Charron)

In this age of confusion, we see many competing ideas on how Catholics should understand the papacy. The most extreme forms—hyperpapalism and sedevacantism— both include an overexaggerated sense of the papacy. Synodality, at least on paper, appears to be the opposite extreme. Is there a better way forward?
