I knew you would poo poo it, because you are a better interpreter and translator than Saint Alphonsus and every theologian and canonist. No news there. Could you be wrong….nah, not a chance.
We're not interpreting Trent here, but St. Peter Canisius.
You gratuitously dismissed it, and you haven't made a single argument about the text of Trent nor attempted to refute the argument I make for the non-BoD reading.
If you're just going to keep spamming in ... "450 years" and "St. Alphonsus" (who was demonstrated to be in serious error on the matter), then there's really no point in your continuing on the thread.
We all know St. Alphonsus interpreted Trent a certain way. I'm arguing about why he was wrong. If you don't want to attempt to refute that, you're just wasting everyone's time. Until you have something substantial to post, there's no point in responding to you.
As for your stupid closing
ad hominem, obviously I could be wrong, so prove me wrong. You simply saying it doesn't make it so.
"Every theologian and Canonist" barring perhaps the sole exception of a +Guerard des Lauriers all approved of, accepted, and promoted Vatican II also. So, unless they all somehow defected from the faith before Vatican II, that by itself undercuts your "Cekadist" position. See, as an SV you claim that pretty much the entire Church could defect outside of a few pockets, all the bishops (minus a number you can count on one hand), theologians (except +des Lauriers) could all universally embrace the errors and heresies of Vatican II. So what's to stop them from being wrong about a matter of speculative theology?
It's one contradiction after another from the pro-BoD crowd, and that alone exposes the position as dishonest and motivated by an (anti-EENS) agenda.
