Mystici Corporis Christi: "69. Now since its Founder willed this social body of Christ to be visible, the cooperation of all its members must also be externally manifest through their profession of the same faith and their sharing the same sacred rites, through participation in the same Sacrifice, and the practical observance of the same laws. Above all, it is absolutely necessary that the Supreme Head, that is, the Vicar of Jesus Christ on earth, be visible to the eyes of all, since it is He who gives effective direction to the work which all do in common in a mutually helpful way towards the attainment of the proposed end."So much for the Siri Theory. Moreover, how could Siri have been the Pope when he remained a member of the "Vatican II sect" that you claim lacks the four marks? How can the member of a false Church be the Pope of the true Church?
Can you explain how the Roman Pontiff was visible to the eyes of all during the Great Western Schism? How did the American Indians see the Pope with their eyes before Columbus sailed westward? Is Francis visible to the North Sentinelese? Perhaps he means visible to all of the Elect (and what does that mean for those who are saved by pseudo-Pelagian implicit desire)? So many questions.Clearly, "visible to all" must be interpreted differently than to how you have done so.
We do not apply our "reason" to judge individual teachings of that authority.
Galatians 1:7-8[8] But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema.Sed licet nos aut angelus de caelo evangelizet vobis praeterquam quod evangelizavimus vobis, anathema sit.[9] As we said before, so now I say again: If any one preach to you a gospel, besides that which you have received, let him be anathema.Sicut praediximus, et nunc iterum dico : si quis vobis evangelizaverit praeter id quod accepistis, anathema sit.
