About this person
Joaquín Sáenz y Arriaga was a Mexican Jesuit priest and theologian who was excommunicated from the Catholic Church. He played a significant role in contemporary traditionalist Catholicism, both in Mexico and in the wider Catholic world, as a pioneering theorist of sedevacantism, claiming that Pope Paul VI was a heretical antipope and thus not legitimate. His two most prominent works, The New Montinian Church (1971) and Sede Vacante (1973) have been described as "foundational" in the development of sedevacantism.
