    Cantarella has made it known that she believes the only infallible source of doctrine are things taught solemnly, ex-cathedra, by PAPAL infallibility.


    This is false. Therefore your entire post makes no sense.

    What is defined as infallible by the Church is not the Ordinary Magisterium of the Pope, but rather the Extraordinary or Solemn Magisterium of the Pope alone (in isolation), when he speaks ex cathedra, without forgetting that the Pope enjoys as head and foundation of the visible Church the same infallibility as the entire Church enjoys in the assembly of every one of her bishops together.  

    The Infallible Magisterium of the Church is indeed one by itself, nevertheless there are two ways to realise it: One is the Universal Ordinary Magisterium and the other is the Extraordinary or Solemn Magisterium. In turn the Extraordinary Magisterium has a double version:  that of the Ecuмenical Councils and that of the Pope alone when he speaks ex cathedra.  

    No theological conclusion is a dogma of faith however certain and evident the conclusion may be when the Church has not yet defined the question through her infallible magisterium.

    I started the thread "Cantarellas Crusade" recently, and it was really only useful in discovering clearly that Cantarella doesn't understand INFALLIBILITY.

    The heart of any discussion is having sources to help prove our position. If one doesn't understand infallibility, one will reject valuable Catholic sources that we should not be rejecting.....and the discussion becomes impossible.

    Cantarella has made it known that she believes the only infallible source of doctrine are things taught solemnly, ex-cathedra, by PAPAL infallibility. Everything else she just dismisses when she wants to, as being optional. She will even believe that every other source of approved Catholic work that has been used for centuries could have things against dogma, but it doesn't matter to her because she thinks, basically, 'Of course! it wasn't meant to be infallible!"

    It's a diabolical deception. She is missing out on the fact that not only are those RARE, solemn ex-cathedra moments infallible, but the CHURCH is perpetually and always protected by infallibility.

    Here is a quote from the Vatican Council (1870), and I ask Cantarella to address it:

    Quote
    "...all those things are to be believed with divine and Catholic faith which are contained in the Word of God, written or handed down, and which the Church, either by a solemn judgment or by her ordinary and universal magisterium, proposes for belief as having been divinely revealed."


    Now, Cantarella, you give me a list of ORDINARY teachings that you believe with the SAME "divine and Catholic faith" with which you believe SOLEMN/EXTRAORDINARY teachings ex-cathedra.

    No theological conclusion is a dogma of faith however certain and evident the conclusion may be when the Church has not yet defined the question through her infallible magisterium.

    But what does this mean?  To put it simply -

    The Pope is infallible when he speaks ex cathedra.
    The Pope is infallible when he speaks in union with an Ecuмenical Council.

    Both the above constitute the Extraordinary, or Solemn, Magisterium of the Church.

    But also - and this is the crucial point -

    The Pope is infallible when he speaks in union with the Bishops of the world.  This constitutes the Ordinary Universal Magisterium of the Church.  

    Is this what Cantarella meant to say?

    As Nado points out Vatican I clearly states that the ordinary Universal Magisterium is infallible.

    No. That quote refers to the Word of God, this is, (and is very clear about it) the Divine Revelation which ended with the death of the last apostle, John.

    All means overall, not that every priest individually is protected.

  • In Catholicism, there are actually different levels of Magisterial Teachings which require different levels of Catholic assent (obedience). Namely:

    1. Infallible Dogmas: Truths taught as divinely revealed"-> These are truths contained directly in the Word of God and which the magisterium has affirmed to be divinely revealed. They are infallible and, to them the faithful owe the “obedience of faith” or “divine and Catholic faith.”.

    2. Definitive Doctrines: Secondary Truths -> This is when the Magisterium proposes ‘in a definitive way’ truths concerning faith and morals, which, even if not divinely revealed, are nevertheless strictly and intimately connected with Revelation, these must be firmly accepted and held.

    3. Ordinary teaching on faith and morals -> Faithful are to adhere to these with religious assent (which is different from the assent of Faith (assensus fidei) of #1 and #2)

    4. Ordinary prudential teachings on disciplinary matters ->These include routine publications of the various organs of the Holy See or the dioceses. These may differ according to circuмstances of time and place. An external assent is due to the teachings of this category but the possibility of error entering into this level of teaching is stronger than with #3.
    If anyone says that true and natural water is not necessary for baptism and thus twists into some metaphor the words of our Lord Jesus Christ" Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Spirit" (Jn 3:5) let him be anathema.

    No error can be taught by the Pope teaching in union with the Bishops of the world, in other words, by the Ordinary Universal Magisterium which is infallible.

    Individual Church members can get things wrong from time to time.  But when the Pope teaches in union with the Bishops of the world, that teaching is guaranteed by Heaven to be free of error.

    I know Divine Revelation ended with the death of the last living apostle. You still don't realize what infallibility is. The Church (especially in the early centuries) has existed for many generations of Catholics and popes being born, living & dying, without any solemn teaching in their life-times...yet all the teaching during those times was protected by infallibility. You simply don't understand that AT ALL!

    Nado,
    Cantarella will never acknowledge, clearly and openly, that the Ordinary Universal Magisterium is infallible.  It would blow apart a significant part of her case if she did. She will duck and dive for the entire length of this thread to avoid it.

    Having said that, she is not alone in this.  The infallibility of the OUM has fallen out of the consciousness of a great many Catholics, Traditionalists included.  I have been told by many Trads that the Pope is only infallible when he speaks ex cathedra or in union with an Ecuмenical Council, and that consequently the remainder of his teachings can be questioned even when the bishops of the world are also professing the same teachings.

    The implication of this false position is that the entire hierarchy of the Church can teach error, and that teachings are only protected by infallibility when they are pronounced by the Extraordinary Magisterium.

    This is a profound error.  Sadly, Cantarella is not alone in adhering to it.

    Then you believe the Novus Ordo is free from error. Why not admit already that you do not understand what you are saying?

    To be nit picky, Infallibility means guaranteed to be without the possibility of error.

    Usually I hear it from Novus Ordites.  Then again, Cantarella is technically a Novus Ordite since SBC is part of the Novus Ordo Church.

    "All" means "overall" means "Universal" means "all" teaching was infallible during those times in Nado's religion. Except of course those teachings which fell out of the realm of "overall".

    Again, this is not Catholic teaching at all. If it is a teaching at all, it is the teaching of a different, non-Catholic religion, one which Nado constantly professes - and fraudulently claims to be Catholic.

    It is you who doesn't understand what you are saying.  But you have highlighted the issue there nevertheless.  

    Popes cannot teach error through one of the organs of infallibility of the Church because such teachings are guaranteed by Heaven to be free of error.

    The Ordinary Universal Magisterium, which consists of the Pope teaching in union with the Bishops of the world, is one of the organs of infallibility of the Church.  It cannot teach error.

    But the Conciliar popes have been teaching the errors of Vatican II in union with the bishops of the world for nearly fifty years.

    Therefore the Conciliar popes do not have the facility of infallibility. If the Conciliar popes were true popes, Vatican II would form part of the teaching of the Ordinary Universal Magisterium of the Church and would be guaranteed by heaven to be free of error.

    Since this is impossible, the only conclusion is that the Conciliar popes are not Popes.

    It was the Modernists who first started to dismiss the infallibility of the OUM.  That way they could claim that only teachings that had been dogmatically defined by the Extraordinary Magisterium are infallible and that the rest are open to question.

    At some point the R&R's also fell into this error.

    I have only ever heard it from SSPX people.

  • It is a known fact that not everything that emanates from the highest authority in the Church is infallible or have the same doctrinal certitude and expected level of assent. Because of the over-simplification of the average sedevacantist mind, this may be difficult to comprehend. Everything is reduced to either black or white but reality and history just do not attest to such romantic ideas, which are rooted in emotion, but not certainty.


    Quote

    The 1910 Catholic Encyclopedia, on Infallibility:

    But before being bound to give such an [“absolute and irrevocable”] assent, the believer has a right to be certain that the teaching in question is definitive (since only definitive teaching is infallible); and the means by which the definitive intention, whether of a council or of the pope, may be recognized have been stated above. It need only be added here that not everything in a conciliar or papal pronouncement, in which some doctrine is defined, is to be treated as definitive and infallible. For example, in the lengthy Bull of Pius IX defining the Immaculate Conception the strictly definitive and infallible portion is comprised in a sentence or two; and the same is true in many cases in regard to conciliar decisions. The merely argumentative and justificatory statements embodied in definitive judgments, however true and authoritative they may be, are not covered by the guarantee of infallibility which attaches to the strictly definitive sentences – unless, indeed, their infallibility has been previously or subsequently established by an independent decision.[36]
    If anyone says that true and natural water is not necessary for baptism and thus twists into some metaphor the words of our Lord Jesus Christ" Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Spirit" (Jn 3:5) let him be anathema.
