Vladimir, if your idea of schismatic is rejecting someone who claims to be pope on account of his being a bold, public, unrepented heretic, then I really have nothing much to say to you, except that it seems rationality has flown the coop in your neck of the woods, I'm afraid, and it's really too bad.
Roscoe, thank you for the admonition (re: St. Alphonsus). I was an idiot. I take it back. I never read those remarks of his, rather I was going by what someone I had trusted told me. Another example of my foolishness in not doing my own due diligence, an example which I will not repeat. Please do note, however, that (tardy as it was) I made an effort to amend this mistake. I agree that based on this man's writings it is completely absurd to think he ever taught those things I said. The teachings of baptism of desire attributed to him, however are wrong.
Now, you can be as skeptical of me as you like, that's fine, and it is completely just, HOWEVER, that doesn't give you the right to reject the correct Catholic positions that I hold, which are based on sound theology, ie; God at the top and men at the bottom.
And speaking of which, sun around the earth obstinacy?
How quickly do you forget that we are never to interpret the Scriptures in a way contrary to the unanimous consent of the Fathers? None of them even hinted that the various passages speaking of the motion of the sun might be only figurative, but they all (including a pope, hence Universal and Ordinary Magisterium) spoke of them as though they expressed literal events. Not to mention science backs it up. I guess this will have to be my next post, as I've been directed to some interesting material concerning this topic (geocentrism).
O what a world we live in, where people doubt and deny the Word of God left right and center!
Everybody, needs to examine their positions, take them to their logical conclusions, and see if their positions hold up, if they are tenable, if they are Catholic. They need to examine them from as many possible angles as they can, and once they find a chink in their armour, so to speak, amend the position, rejecting the errors and embracing the Truth. God's Word is the truth, as found in Scripture and Tradition, and in the dogmas which are proposed by the Church as matters to be believed as divinely revealed, whether by Her solemn judgment or in Her Ordinary and Universal Magisterium. This Truth has no chinks in It's armour.
