Lad was right, you definitely suffer with FDS: Feeney Derangement Syndrome.
Yes, there is definitely such a thing, where there's almost a Pavlovian conditioned response to this subject, where people begin foaming at the mouth as if Feeneyism, rather than Modernism, was the "synthesis of all heresies".
That's one reason I've grown weary of debating this topic, because those who have made up their minds refuse to listen to reason.
We had that one thread where ...
POSTER: BoD = "universal constant teaching of the Church"
I (and Others): List 7-8 Church Fathers who rejected it, and 1 who held it temporarily as speculation, but retracted, and the other who was making the distinction between "washed but not crowned"
POSTER: BoD = "universal constant teaching of the Church"
and so on ad nauseam
They believe what they want to believe. Those on the other hand who seek truth, and wish to really investigate the matter, they will find the truth.
As mentioned, I used to believe in BoD because I believed the assertion that "Trent taught it" and that "the Church Fathers unanimously taught it".
Then I found out that most Church Fathers rejected it, i.e. that this was a lie.
Then I read Trent in Latin and found that, "wait a minute, Trent has no intention of teaching BoD here".
So, I had no prior ill disposition against BoD, just that ... I decided to have a look and found that the reality was far different than what the pro-BoD = anti-EENS crowd had distorted it into.
