why the year 1800, have we had a vacant seat since then, now???
how about "show me...prior to 1850..."?
If the "teaching" that I highlighted in bold above were true, then one could find it in the writings of the Fathers or the scholastics. It, like so many of the "innovations" of Vatican II, is a product of modernistic theology, which attempts to retain Catholic "spirituality" while jettisoning the theology of the Church. Thanks, but no thanks. Remember, John Dominic Crossan is a professing Catholic, as are many of the "Catholic" scholars of the Jesus Seminar. If you think that modernism entered the Church at the Second Vatican Council and not before, I think that you are naive.
um...no, Modernism has been around long before, V2 was a open the hatch, release....never said anything about v2 as you seem to indicate.....I and my parents fighting for Tradition and the Church since late 70's, when some here at this site were not born yet or were asleep at the wheel.....thanks for the lecture.....but.
again, why the yr 1800??? you did not address this, you note recent events/people and the Fathers,etc....
did 1800 just become arbitrary line in sand? a example?
