Pathetic, SeanJohnnson.Drew is objectively guilty of calumny. He has accused me of embracing the Protestant heresy that the Magisterium is not revealed truth, and then has persisted in this calumny after I demonstrated to him that I did no such thing. His accusation was based on his ignorance of the English language. I corrected him with with a citation from dictionary.com which showed my use of the term as definition #1, and his definition #2. Yet even after that he persists in making this accusation, that I have embraced and promoted this heresy.

You can't seem to understand concepts as being formally distinct from one another. You act stunned when I wrote that the Magisterium is not part of God's Revelation. Magisterium is in fact formally distinct from Revelation. In Revelation, God reveals His truth to us. With Magisterium, the Church teaches and interprets and explains said truth. It is not the Church's teaching authority which REVEALS the truth. In fact, Vatican I clearly explained that papal Magisterium (in the context of infallibility) is to given to reveal new truth but merely to explain and protect it. If you cannot understand how these are different, then I just can't help you. Then your post goes downhill from there.
Bellarmine clearly specifies the two most important elements involved in a Pontiff and he himself mentions an existing distinction between the "matter" (person) and the "form" (Divine Assistance) of the pontificate:
Thank you for your reply and explanation.
