St. Robert Bellarmine differentiated between the two. And some untrained simpleton like yourself calling a theologian in the class of +Guerard des Lauriers an idiot who doesn't know philosophy 101, well, that's just preposterous and incredibly arrogant. You have no credibility whatsoever.
Ladislaus,
The appeal to authority is the weakest of all arguments. In fact, it's not an argument at all but often an excuse for not thinking. This has been your one and only babble from the beginning of this thread regarding the fundamental error on which sedeprivationism is grounded.
Now in "your church" you can do whatever you want. You can believe whatever you want to believe. But in the Catholic Church hylomorphism is Dogma in that this philosophical principle has been used in the dogmatic canons on the sacraments. It is a fundamental truth that the severing of the form and matter of any material
being causes a substantial change in that
being. The
being is dissolved. Your theory has destroyed the papal office. But for faithful Catholics, who keep dogma as their rule of faith, we know by divine and Catholic faith that the papacy with perpetual successors will last until the "consummation of the world" and therefore, your theory is bunk.
