From Fr. Kramer: “Faith, not merely the material and external profession of the objective content of faith, but the virtue of faith as a principium operationis is necessary to be in the soul of person of the pope as its subject in order to receive and preserve within himself the form of the supreme pontificate (…) it would clearly be impossible for one to be a valid Roman Pontiff without the virtue of faith. ... For the record, I do indeed hold that hypothetically, losing the virtue of faith, the pope would lose office."
OK. Not that it matters too much to me, since I would simply have to disagree with him on that, and let's just say those SVs who hold that occult heresy deposes from office are outliers and in the extreme minority. If it mattered more to me, I'd like to see what is left out with the ellipses, but then perhaps Fr. Kramer's zealous follower here on CI, Catholic Knight, could take the time to do so.
I don't want to spent too much time on the "5 Opinions". Even the opinion of occult heresy deposing from office hasn't been condemned, and one is entitled to hold any one of them, and one is even entitled to the non-Salza interpretation of Bellarmine. We're not going to resolve that debate here when much greater theologian minds than ours could not agree.
So this is really the bottom line for me. Is the Conciliar Church the Catholic Church? Does it have the notes of the Catholic Church? IMO, it clearly does not. One needn't be a theologian to apply a simple test of the
sensus Catholicus to determine that there's a huge clash, contradition, and mutual exclusivity between the pre-Vatican II Traditional Church and the Conciliar Church. I became a Tradtional Catholic not for any deep theologial reason (and God doesn't expect Catholics to be theologicans) after reading St. Alphonsus'
The Glories of Mary and concluding bascially that "this man does not have the same faith held by nearly everyone in the Conciliar Church".
If you were to time-warp St. Pius X forward to today and have him behold a "World Youth Day" and read the "Magisterium" of Jorge Bergoglio, would HE recognize it as Catholic? Absolutely not. To claim anything else is a denial of reality that inevitably results in psychological damage, a split brain, where you try to reconcile the irreconcilable.
Then, to me, the protection of Our Lord over the papacy precludes that a legitimate Pope in the exercise of his authority would be permitted by the Holy Ghost from perpetrating this type of transformative destruction of the Church. In other words, the Church's indefectibility does not allow it. There cannot be such a substantial change in the nature and the characteristics of the Church where it cannot be distinguished from any other Protestant sect either in its public worship or in its teaching.
Now, the core erroneous teaching has to do with V2 ecclesiology, where the Catholic Church, outside of which there is no salvation, is not co-extensive with the Catholic Church, and where non-Catholic groups are actually within the Church to varying degrees, so, since you accept this bogus/heretical teaching, why should it even matter to you if we're "heretics"? Bergoglio himself chuckles about heresy and possibly being "heretical". Just like the various "other" heretics and schismatics welcomed by the V2 papal claimants, we're fellow workers in the Lord's veinyard, exercising some kind of mission and apostolate in the Church. While you've made a big deal about SSPX et al not having "mission," you're actually contradicting your own V2 "popes", who claim that non-Catholics do have missions and ministries from God (an error/heresy repeatedly taught by them). In other words, your attacks against Traditional Catholics are shot down and undermined by your own "popes", whom you claim to follow, so what's your point? If you're following their Magisterium, then lay off your fellow "separated brethren" already, and stop "prosletyzing" us here, since Bergolgio says it's sinful to come on here and prosletyze us. Ironically, your line of attack contradicts the teaching of your own "popes" on the very same points that Traditional Catholics oppose/reject their teaching on.
