Is it not many orders of magnitude more absurd that any Catholic could prefer his understanding of Trent to the plethora of learned Doctors and theologians who understand Trent to be teaching Baptism of Desire, the same doctrine taught by the Angelic Doctor, whose Summa was so venerated at the Council, and the Fathers and Doctors of old?
Plethora my foot. Father Cekada did a study and could find only about two dozen theologians that even mention the subject, more than half of whom simply mention it in passing, as in, "Yup. BoD."
You're entitled to believe in the BoD speculation ... AS THESE DOCTORS HELD IT, as the Church has thus far permitted it. But if you start babbling on about how infidels can be saved by BoD (which none of these sources affirm), you're a heretic.
What a pathetic tactic, "the Angelic Doctor, whose Summa was so venerated at the Council". So what? That doesn't make him infallible. He also misfired on the Immaculate Conception, and later theologians have found about 4 dozen errrors in his writings.
Then you throw in a gratuitous lie about the Church Fathers, as the vast majority of Church Fathers rejected the concept of BoD (and I argue that they all did, excepting the youthful speculation of a young St. Augustine, who then later retracted the opinion).
