The Conciliar Church, with its liturgical abomination and its doctrinal heresies, would not be such a shock to behold were it not that it assumed the place of the liturgical and doctrinal orthodoxy that preceded it in the Catholic Church of the ages. We are witnessing an extraordinary wonder prophesied to occur in the end times before Our Lord's return, an anomaly that makes us question the very truths of our faith and the seeming contradiction between some of its dogmas and/or principles: the indefectibility of the Church versus the error in the Conciliar's Church's teachings and practice, the promise of the perpetuity, and never failing faith, of the successors of Peter (Pastor Aeternus) versus the fact of the elevation of those to that succession who lack even a general possession of the Catholic faith (even less than a possession of the true faith with a possibility of it failing - as with some of the "seed" who, lacking the charism promised to true successors of Peter, believe "for awhile" and then "fall away" in Our Lord's parable of the sower and the seed). The dilemma of the Conciliar Church would not be such a dilemma if it did not so dramatically and blatantly contradict the juridical body it took over and the general rules that governed that holy predecessor, the Catholic Church, for almost two centuries - most notably its indefectibility and freedom from error in its universal and authoritative teachings.I have used the analogy before of an anomaly, a departure from the general governing norms, laws or rules, like a miracle in nature that suspends the law of physics. The anomaly does not cancel out or make a lie of the general rules, and their ability to govern what happens and predict what will happen in normal times. The Conciliar Church is such an anomaly, and a prophesied and predicted anomaly at that, one revealed by God before in Holy Scripture, primarily in 2 Thessalonians 2, where St. Paul talks of the signs to precede the return of Our Lord. The Conciliar Church no more makes the lie of the indefectibility or infallibility of the Catholic Church than the standing of the sun at Jericho makes false the typical course of the sun and the earth's normal day - apart from that exceptional departure and anomaly. As long as we try to apply the general rules that pertained to the Catholic Church to this impostor, we will be confused, perplexed, and struggle to make sense and avoid contradiction. The anomaly confronted and understood as anomaly dispels the confusion and the apparent contradiction. The fact that it was predicted and revealed to us by God beforehand in His Holy Scriptures comforts and lets us know that not only is there no contradiction, but that it is all in the hands of a God whose very being abhors contradiction like "space abhors a vacuum" and gives sense and meaning to what seems impossible of sane comprehension. There is an old Latin proverb, exceptio probat regulam in casibus non exceptis - the exception proves the rule in cases not excepted. Here's a good description:The origins are in Latin legal maxim, exceptio probat regulam in casibus non exceptis (the exception confirms the rule in cases not excepted). In other words, the fact that an exception exists means that a general rule also exists, e.g., if you see a sign that says “No Parking on Sundays,” you have legal protection in assuming that parking is permitted the other six days.

The Conciliar Church is the prophesied exceptio that does not contradict but rather proves the holiness and truth of the Catholic Church of the centuries that preceded it. Indeed, were it not so blatantly different and contradictory to the Catholic Church that preceded it, the sign would not as easily have been seen - thus it serves, like the difference between a red and a green light at an intersection. It is Satan's last gasp, his final gathering of his forces to surround the camp of the saints in a doomed attempt to destroy that will result in his own destruction. Apocalypse 20. Let us not despair but rather hope in the imminent return of Our Lord and His reign in the New Heaven and New Earth. Apocalypse 21.
