  • The marks of the Church remain, the Church has not been destroyed.

    The pope is a Modernist - he said what Modernists are expected to say -i.e. nothing but sounds like something to the unknowing. He can say whatever he wants to say - we know the new liturgy is not reversable, nor is it forwardable. It is evil and needs to be abolished, not reversed, as if such a thing was even doable.

    I dare anyone to show us right here, doc, page/s, paragraph and line where V"2" is said to be "a pastoral Council"



    Quote
    "In view of the pastoral nature of the Council, it avoided any extraordinary statements of dogmas endowed with the note of infallibility, but it still provided its teaching with the authority of the Ordinary Magisterium which must be accepted with docility according to the mind of the Council concerning the nature and aims of each docuмent." Pope Paul VI General Audience, 12 January 1966


    Should we dare you, to give us "any extraordinary statements of dogmas endowed with the note of infallibility" from Vatican II?
    Fr. Ratzinger, who attended the Council as a peritus for Joseph Cardinal Frings of Cologne said:


    Quote
    "The truth is that this particular Council defined no dogma at all, and deliberately
     chose to remain on a modest level, as a merely pastoral council; and yet many treat
     it as though it had made itself into a sort of superdogma which takes away the
     importance of all the rest." Cardinal Ratzinger, Prefect of the CDF, 13 July 1988, in Santiago, Chile.

    The love of God be your motivation, the will of God your guiding principle, the glory of God your goal.

  • Bilbo, we understand the propaganda that has been perpetrated upon the ignorant. We know what is meant when those who refuse to accept the reality of the situation say that it was a ""pastoral" council because no new dogmas were defined." This is not what DZ is saying. He wants anyone who can, to show where it is taught anywhere that it was a pastoral "council", and for that matter, to prove that pastoral has anything to do with whether it is infallible or not.
    People often say JXIII said it was pastoral but he did not. He said V2 was an act of the Magisterium which is pastoral in nature.
    Not that this will make any difference, but after spending a whole 2 minutes, I found the below link and numerous other links of the popes' speeches repeating the same thing - that V2 specifically was not a dogmatic council. :fryingpan:
    LINK

    There is one who asks what authority, theological qualification, which the Council wanted to attribute to its teachings, knowing that it has avoided giving solemn dogmatic definitions, engaging the infallibility of the ecclesiastical magisterium. 

    And the answer is known to those who recall the conciliar declaration of 6 March 1964, repeated on November 16, 1964: given the pastoral character of the Council, it has avoided utterly rendering dogmas endowed with the note of infallibility; but it nevertheless has its teachings of the authority of the supreme ordinary magisterium, which ordinary and so clearly authentic magisterium must be greeted docile and sincerely by all the faithful, according to the Council's mind about the nature and purpose of individual docuмents.


    As Fr. Wathen explained here: "People need to understand that anything that this council pronounced that is a part of Catholic tradition and belief, is no less true and no less binding."

    Vi è chi si domanda quale sia l’autorità, la qualificazione teologica, che il Concilio ha voluto attribuire ai suoi insegnamenti, sapendo che esso ha evitato di dare definizioni dogmatiche solenni, impegnanti l’infallibilità del magistero ecclesiastico. E la risposta è nota per chi ricorda la dichiarazione conciliare del 6 marzo 1964, ripetuta il 16 novembre 1964: dato il carattere pastorale del Concilio, esso ha evitato di pronunciare in modo straordinario dogmi dotati della nota di infallibilità; ma esso ha tuttavia munito i suoi insegnamenti dell’autorità del supremo magistero ordinario il quale magistero ordinario e così palesemente autentico deve essere accolto docilmente e sinceramente da tutti i fedeli, secondo la mente del Concilio circa la natura e gli scopi dei singoli docuмenti.

  • John XXIII: “which selfsame Magisterium, taking account of the errors, necessities and opportunities of our age, is, by means of this very Council, being presented to all men, as many as be in the world, in extraordinary form at the present time.”

    John XXIII: “For the Deposit of Faith itself or the truths contained by our venerable doctrine are one thing, but the manner in which they are enunciated (albeit with the same sense and the same meaning) is another.  It is precisely to this latter manner that the majority (of our attention) will have to be given; and, if need arise, it will have to be patiently exerted therein.  In other words, there will need to be introduced those methods of explaining things which are more in keeping with a Magisterium whose native character is primarily pastoral.”

    Paul VI: “It is precisely because the Second Vatican Council has the task of dealing once more with the doctrine de Ecclesia (of the Church) and of defining it, that it has been called the continuation and complement of the First Vatican Council.”

    Paul VI: “But one thing must be noted here, namely, that the teaching authority of the Church, even though not wishing to issue extraordinary dogmatic pronouncements, has made thoroughly known its authoritative teaching on a number of questions which today weigh upon man’s conscience and activity, descending, so to speak, into a dialogue with him, but ever preserving its own authority and force…”

    Paul VI: “Errors were condemned, indeed, because charity demanded this no less than did truth…”

    Paul VI: “This council hands over to posterity not only the image of the Church but also the patrimony of her doctrine and of her commandments, the ‘deposit’ received from Christ and meditated upon through centuries, lived and expressed now and clarified in so many of its parts, settled and arranged in its integrity.”

    Paul VI: “… the Moslems profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind’s judge on the last day, as the Second Vatican Council solemnly declared.”

    “Cardinal” Joseph Ratzinger: “It is likewise impossible to decide in favor of Trent and Vatican I, but against Vatican II.  Whoever denies Vatican II denies the authority that upholds the other two councils and thereby detaches them from their foundation.  And this applies to the so-called ‘traditionalism’, also in its extreme forms.”
    Ok you win - Vatican 2 was infallible. :facepalm:

  • IFyou believe that last six claimants to papacy were actually the Popes it was.
    It is painfully obvious that if you have zero faith in the doctrine of infallibility and if you had a shred of faith in the doctrine of infallibility or even knew what it is, you could not say something so ridiculous as ^^^^^ that.

  • You go to great lengths to try to prove the V2 was infallible (while ignoring the clear definitions of V1 on the matter), then you turn around and say it wasn't because Paul VI wasn't a pope to begin with.  What a waste of time on your part.  It also shows your extreme bias towards any non-sede.  Are you more concerned with being 'right' or more concerned with 'converting' those fellow trads, whom you think are heretics?

  • AES, i'd like to hear your comments after you read Fr Chazal's post in which he quotes NUMEROUS theologians who disagree with you (i.e. a heretical pope does not automatically lose his office).  If you want to pick and choose theologians to follow, that's fine.  There's definitely room for debate.  But you CAN'T walk around telling other catholics that your theologians have a CONSESUS on the topic and you can't proclaim this view is DOCTRINE.  It's just not true.

  • It is painfully obvious that if you have zero faith in the doctrine of infallibility and if you had a shred of faith in the doctrine of infallibility or even knew what it is, you could not say something so ridiculous as a General Council can teach error to the entire Church.
    See...we can both play your "games".
    V2 taught error, it did so and could do so because there was no new doctrines defined.

    You mistake the council for God - that is your own problem.

    And fwiw, this is no game.
    Just because the pope and all the bishops gather in council does not mean whatever they choose to say, do or teach is guaranteed infallible. But beyond all reasoning with you, that is how you understand infallibility. All you need to do is use V2 as proof that what I say is the obvious truth, which makes your whole idea of what infallibility is, at least ridiculous.

    So, again...Is the pope the rule of faith for you? For Catholics, is dogma.

  • Yeah, that's not vague at all...

    It is referred to as such, at least by you.

    Why should I either care, or find what you assert credible?

    Please don't do that again.

    That is fair enough, and is my failing with one proviso; what do we do when we don't know?

    How do I now know that you don't?
