… and the "truth" LIES and lay with its "lover"
Excellent refutation.

Alphonsus understands Trent
Bellarmine understands Trent
Pax Vobis does not.

Father Feeney's interpretation of Trent isn't any different from theirs -- he simply draws different implications from the justification vs. salvation distinction.  But I personally disagree with this interpretation.  I don't think that Trent is teaching "either ... or" (for many reasons that I've articulated and no one's ever refuted).  Yet I don't disagree with Father Feeney's general distinction between justification and salvation.  I believe it's valid and very real.

So, according to the strict Father Feeney position (which I don't follow 100%), Trent has nothing to do with it.

Honestly, it's not any worse than most of your best efforts, LoT.

The "different implication" is the difference between doctrine and heresy.  Incredible.  Do you even believe yourself?

Does that sound familiar to you?

That was the question.  How is the question wrong?[/size]

I'm obviously talking about your poll question and the very title of your thread.
