Ladislaus said:I don't really buy it. Infallibility more than anything else involves the INTENTION of the pope to bind the faithful. If Paul VI said that he didn't mean to teach infallibly then the teaching wasn't infallible. What better guide do we have regarding his own intentions than his explicit statement?
You have the docuмent called Lumen Gentium which is subtitled "Dogmatic Constitution on the Church" which should tip you off that these men were DOUBLE-MINDED as I've mentioned now about a million times. Yes, Paul VI said that Vatican II was pastoral -- sometimes. At other moments he'd say the opposite. That is what these communists do.
I keep telling people to read Pascendi Domenici Gregis where Pius X describes how the Modernists are orthodox one moment, rationalist the next. This is not paranoid, conspiracy-mongering Raoul76 talking but the Vicar Of Christ, Pius X, who God in his mercy provided to you to give a WARNING about just what would happen, which has been almost entirely ignored.
The Modernists don't just lie -- they mix truth with lies to keep you frozen. At one moment, Vatican II is pastoral; but inside these docuмents we are told we must be with the mind and will of the "Pontiff" even when he's speaking in public.
And if you still don't buy that Vatican II has any binding power, if you still buy the notion that a Council which totally changed the nature of the Church, and whose directives were enforced with an iron rod, is just "pastoral," and that a Pope could spend his entire pontificate just giving opinions and not teaching, Paul VI's eventual successor JPII did not speak through the "pastoral" Council and STILL taught heresy. And Ratzinger taught heresy in a book that is still available to read BEFORE becoming Pope -- he hasn't changed -- putting him squarely in the target of cuм Ex Apostolatus.
