You couldn't be more wrong ... and you are pertinaciously wrong. It's precisely because the SVs reject that principle that they have adopted the SV position on the crisis. According to R&R principles, even in normal times, there's never a real doctrinal authority again in the Church short of a pope making a dogmatic definition. At least according to SVism, that prior normal of Catholics giving assent to the Magisterium will be restored when the hierarchy is restored.
I hope that I'm aroud when the restored hierarchy condemns your errors and you're forced to eat crow and when SVism is vindicated.
You’re kind of an idiot, aren’t you?
According to your heretical Protestant ecclesiology, any man at any time can declare the See vacant, and simply assert the “heresy” of the pope is manifest.
Pay no mind to the practical reality that since, could that heretical principal prevail, the unity of the mystical body becomes an impossibility since each man would erect his own subjective threshold and declare the See full or vacant as his own personal lights “inform” him.
Are you microdosing tonight??
