O'Regan had it basically right ... and you only made a fool of yourself in that exchange.
Ladislaus,
Thanks for this admission of agreement with an eminent spokesman for Conservative Catholicism who unabashedly believes and promotes the pope as his rule of faith. Papolatry is just another form of idolatry. There really is not a dime's worth of difference between the presuppositions and logical conclusions of Conservative Catholics and the S&Sers.
But there is a moral difference. I will make a prediction. Far greater percentage of Conservative Catholics will come to the recognition of their error and turn to the immutable truth of Catholic Dogma as their rule of faith than will S&Sers. For even now, Conservative Catholics are questioning these erroneous assumptions to rethink the problem of making the pope the rule of faith. They are open to the consideration of necessity of grounding their faith upon the immutable revealed truthd of Catholic Dogma. The S&Sers on the other hand have hardened into an obstinacy of spirit that willfully turns against Dogma because it condemns what they have done.
You are in a church of your own making the lacks necessary attributes of the Catholic Church, and the longer this goes on, the less you will care.
