Yes, Luther was wrong, of course.
russianpropagandapurveyor, you question does make sense. As I see it, the current situation leaves us two options:
-Accept Vatican II and also accept that Catholicism can change completely. If Vatican II is legitimate, then the Pope can change absolutely everything and it will still be Catholicism. This is obvious a false idea.
-Accept that the Church was somehow corrupted and that the false doctrines of Vatican II were promulgated as true by the highest authority. This is Traditionalist. How it was possible and how to react to it is what Traditionalist have been trying to do for the last 60 years or so. There is no definite and final answer, but we know that this is the only viable option, since the alternative basically mean that Our Lord's promisses were false.
A third option is to intepret Vatican II according to Tradition. Can that be done? Have you ever tried? One thing is certain: only a fool will believe,without question, that Vatican II contradicts Tradition wthout studyng the issue himself. And "studying the issue" does not mean reading selective quotes from an article that attempts to prove V2 contradicts traditions. It means actually studying the issue objectively for oneself. Unfortantely, very few, if any, Traditional Catholics taken that approach. Another problem is many Traditional Catholics have embraced doctrinal errors, such as the
rejection of BOD and BOB, which rejection is a clear departure from tradition. Only a
fool would reject Catholic doctrines such as BOB and BOD, which have been taught universall since the Council of Trent. Yet how many fools are there here on Cathinfo? Too many to count.
