Let’s all notice that +Schneider didn’t address the infiltration of Modernism, nor the Freemasons in new-rome, nor the false/parallel church, nor the simple name-calling of Bergoglio.  Either +Schneider is too scared to challenge the powers that be, or he’s one of them.  Can’t be trusted.

A truly excellent article from His Excellency Bishop Athanasius Schneider. It's been wonderful to watch courageous Prelates like +Athanasius and Archbishop +Vigano step up to make the necessary critiques of the Council to bring it in line with Catholic Tradition. I agree with His Excellency's suggestion and I also believe Mother Church will do something along the lines of what he says in the future.
I know many think this conclusion follows, but what many will actually draw from it is "the Roman Church defected". We've already seen friends on this forum, like Jerm, for e.g. do that. And that's what Bishop Athanasius is trying to avoid - people losing faith in the Roman Church. Take an example. When the Anglican Lambeth conference said contraception was ok, all of us concluded the Anglican communion defected. If some people had said "the archbishop presiding wasn't a real archbishop" or whatever, that wouldn't have mattered. If a Council of a Church promulgated heresy, then that Church defected. And that's what is impossible for the Roman Church and why, imo, Bishop Athanasius does not grant it, and says we must continue to regard even the Ordinary, Non-Infallible Magisterium of the Roman Church with respect, as indeed even the Theologians say we must. There is also the issue that all the Bishops of the Church, as another consequence of Indefectibility, cannot err in identifying their Head. So indefectibility would be shot on that score as well if in fact they did so err. Pope Bl. Pius IX appealed to similar principles in refuting the idea of Vatican I containing heresy.

Anyway, that aside, Bishop Athanasius makes many valuable contributions to the debate. The Council is non-infallible. A future infallible statement of greater authority could correct some of the ambiguities or errors that have come from it. The greater always has precedence over the latter, and what is infallible over what is not. Trent and Vatican I, for e.g., or Nicea and the Creed etc, are all infallible dogmatic statements. Vatican II is non-infallible, although it is still Magisterial; it cannot have heresy, but an infallible statement in the future from the Church can override the non-definitive portions of it, according to the examples given by +Athanasius.
