    His comment must be understood as based on the premise that the actor CAN DO what Aquinas says should be done in principle.
    I think he is stressing the principle that faith is supreme, and no matter if the whole visible Church is burning around you, you cannot compromise on matters of faith.

    Sorry, so you are saying it is also "absolutely" possible for a future pope to declare St. Pius X to have been a false pope? If that happened, would you accept it as true? Because you said you are "good" with whatever the Church declares. Or is there some criteria that would need to be met for you to accept a past pope being declared a false pope as true?
    No, what makes you think that's what I'm saying? The pope is condemning all things V2 so now the Church is where it was pre-V2. What reason would the pre-V2 popes even enter the picture?

    • :facepalm: ... no, the free exercise of legitimate papal authority cannot possibly wreck the Church so badly that we must leave submission to and communion with the hierarchy in order to remain Catholics, where they effectively establish a New Religion alien to the Catholic Religion.

    It's not about receiving graces, but about receiving the office of the papacy.  You would be a wicked occult apostate, and you would receive the offices even if no graces of the office.  Of course, if you received the office, God would strike you down before you'd be allowed to corrupt the Church's teaching.

    As far as God allowing it ... well, of course God allowed the Crisis, but it does not mean he would somehow renig on the Promises of Christ for the papacy, but instead would allow it to happen in some other way.

    There's so much muddled and even non-Catholic thinking about the papacy among Trads that it's mind-boggling.

    Stop it with the "Visible Church" nonsense too.  Church is instrinsically Visible, and there's no mysterious "Invisible Church" that's somehow operating in a parallel universe, where it's still the Catholic Church while this Visible one has become non-Catholic.

    Please just stop posting, those of you who have no concept about Catholic ecclesiology, before you lose your own faith.  You're better off just devoting yourselves to the Holy Rosary or something and stop thinking about theology altogether.

    So, anyone who says that does not hold to the legitimay of the Conciliar papal claimants with the certainty of faith.  That would be like saying I believe that in the future the Church might reverse the dogma of the Immaculate Conception.  If you say that, you don't believe in the Immaculate Conception with the certainty of faith.
    No, that would not be like saying I believe that in the future the Church might reverse the dogma of the Immaculate Conception. Unlike the legitimacy of popes, the Immaculate Conception is a defined dogma. The legitimacy of popes is an act of the Church's administration via the cardinals voting and him accepting his election. 

    You sure come with your share of some real doozies.

    The Church is visible in different ways, i.e., Her laity, hierarchy, doctrine, sacraments, monuments, etc. 

    You may choose to read into my statement, but I in no way advocate for the Protestant idea of the "invisible church". 

    I believe that the visibility of the Church has gone into somewhat of an "eclipse".

    You are not any more qualified than anyone else here to post about these matters, and your opinion is only as valuable as the authoritative sources you can furnish to support your arguments .

    What sloppy "advice" to give to anyone!

    Prayer and study together is Catholic.

    Like it or not, with no actual theologians or true Pastors, everyone must now step up and seek the answers they need.
    You are no one to stand in their way or discourage them from doing so.
    Yes, there is a danger that one can misinterpret something - that danger is real for EVERYONE and was ALWAYS TRUE in ANY AGE!

    So, please calm down and try asking clarifying questions before you go of on these rants which make you look somewhat manic, but we all have our foibles, so I accept your mania.
