Hah, you'll take any view that agrees with your own. You've already demonstrated that time and again. You admit having watched only a few minutes of the video but already "take" his view. Would be funny if about 30 minutes in he denounces flat earthers. Since you take his view over that of a layman, why don't you ask him what he believes about the flat earth, and if he rejects it, you need to follow his lead ... since you should take his view over yours. Hypocrite.
Cantarella is absolutely correct the papal ratification is what defines an Ecuмenical Council.
You love to call people names, when you don't really have an argument. Oh well. You call me a hypocrite, but actually, I've just finished watching half the video. It's an hour long. Would you like to know what the rest of the first half of the video entails? Somehow I think not, but I'm going to highlight the main details.
Fr. Hesse describes and explains that a Council must have the proper matter, form, and intention, and that it must intend to do what the Church does. Are you with me so far? Do you understand this?
Bear with me now, as I know this will be difficult for a sedewhatever to understand, but Fr. Hesse then goes on to explain that a purpose of a Council is to condemn error, and to clarify doctrine. Pope John XXlll specifically announced that the Council would not condemn anything, and that it would be a pastoral council. Fr. Hesse says that the other councils were all called to clear up doctrine and to destroy error.
Fr. Hesse then goes on to explain a little known encyclical by Pope Pius Vl called, Auctorum Fidei, and that the docuмent addressed the issue of what a synod (council) does exactly. Pope Pius Vl said that..."The purpose of a synod is to clarify terms, not to complicate them."
Fr. Hesse then goes on to explain that the higher a truth is, the simpler it becomes, because God is infinitely simple. A sedewhatever will not be able to relate to this, due to their (your) predilection toward everything being excessively wordy and complicated.
I'll watch the rest tomorrow and give an update. Not that you'll be interested, of course.
