  • We can't guess your answer.

    It feels like you are talking in riddles.  Couldn't you just articulate where you stand?
    More and more I think Johannes is just playing games here.

  • I only "play games" with silly women :jester:. But my point to Grey above is no game.
    And I think time will prove you're playing here.;)

  • You don't have to guess, and it is not a riddle. Think of it more like questing for Truth.

    It is a historical fact that you are looking for (or the absence of one).

    Read: #188-193 of Van Noort: https://archive.org/details/vannoortvol2christschurch/page/n163/mode/2up

    T
    he question: Has any legitimate pope prior to John XXIII taught error(s) about faith or morals to the Universal Church in his official magisterium? -Is an important one.

    I could simply tell you where I stand (which is irrelevant and means nothing), or I can point you to the historical proofs (or lack thereof) which speak for themselves.

    Well here is the thing.  I don't understand your purpose.  Is it to ensnare me in a trap?  You ask the question which you yourself won't answer.

    My answer to the above question, though I am nobody and my answer does not matter, is this "I don't think so, but I have not analyzed all 2000 years of popes myself and I have to trust the writings of others."

    Now what?

    Well I think he is trying to get people to understand the situation of the Church with these questions, but it is not really getting people to talk.  They would rather talk about politics and jews.  I don't know.  I should go do something else for awhile. :cowboy:

  • So, is this purely out of curiosity as to where the CI membership stands on the various matters?
    I think so.
    I think he's attempting to build up his case to declare that everyone here is either wrong or a heretic, give it another week or so.

    It's the Socratic method.  Rather than directly making an argument with statements, one asks questions that will lead people to figure things out for themselves.

    He described himself in an earlier post as a non-dogmatic sedevacantist who attends Mass with SSPX (therefore he's not fussy about una cuм).  That's not a position that is likely to lead to him declaring everyone a heretic.  I daresay he thinks that half the forum is wrong about something or other.  Just about everyone here does.

    Some of the questions have already been answered, but those answers do not agree with his own ideas.

  • It's your conundrum...

    "The pope cannot teach heresy, but if he does he is no longer pope. But the pope cannot preach heresy, but if he does, he is no longer pope - but popes cannot preach heresy! - but if he does he is no longer pope...."

    Then you solved that conundrum using the mystery, the idea that popes are not popes because cardinals were not cardinals, destroying the hierarchical structure of the Church in the process, it's just one of the casualties you needed.

    Note that out of all the changes, the only thing the devil did not obliterate was the legal hierarchical structure of the Church. They must have known they could leave that up to certain laypeople.

  • And, just to note, the majority (as of right now) does NOT believe a pope can teach error(s) of any kind on faith and morals for the Universal Church. But if I had just listened to you - I would be led to believe that he can teach all manner of satanic heresy and general councils can promulgate apostasy every day of the week.

    So it's a democratic consensus that decides what truth is? How very Vatican II. 
    "It is licit to resist a Sovereign Pontiff who is trying to destroy the Church. I say it is licit to resist him in not following his orders and in preventing the execution of his will. It is not licit to Judge him, to punish him, or to depose him, for these are acts proper to a superior."

    Indeed, even the Arians, Protestants, and Martin Luther couldn't destroy the hierarchy of the Church. But certain laypeople have. And they want to be applauded for having done so.

  • 1) Do you believe that the College of Cardinals is de fide and necessary to make a pope?
    De Fide? WTH are you talking about? No it's not De Fide, it's the Church's law for the election of the Roman Pontiff that he be elected by the college of cardinals and nobody else, this law is very strict and is ratified by each pope successively. You do away with this law for no other reason than because it's necessary for you to alleviate your conundrum.


    Quote
    2) Do you believe that the concept of a legal structure can remain absent its continual use?
    What I believe ("my opinion") is irrelevant because the legal structure of the Church is not absent, it's right there, untouched by the Church's enemies until you came along and decided to insist it is absent in order to do away with your conundrum.

    See the pattern yet?

    I suspect that, in his mind, the answers are obvious and will lead everyone to same conclusions he reached.  But, of course, it doesn't really work that way.
