Sola Ex Cathedra is every bit as much a heresy as Sola Scriptura 1.) Sola Ex Cathedra (Popes are only infallible when making an ex cathedra definition) is a heresy of semi-Trads. 2.) Sola Scriptura (only the Bible is infallible) is a heresy of Protestants. If the Popes could at times teach heresy, how would we know when they are teaching truth or error? We would have to be the superior of the Pope to decide when he is teaching the truth and when he is teaching falsehood… that is a complete prideful delusion! OBJECTION # 1: Vatican I said the Pope is only infallible when speaking Ex Cathedra ANSWER # 1: While it is true that Ex Cathedra statements are infallible; it is absolutely NOT true that Ex Cathedra statements are the ONLY times Popes are infallible. Vatican I infallibly declares: The First Vatican Council Dogmatic Constitution of Vatican I, Pastor Aeternus Pope Pius IX, July 18, 1870 A.D. “Indeed, their apo
But Pope Benedict was at pains to stress that the NO IS the same liturgy. So Paul 6 did not change the Liturgy you see... the condemnations of Trent etc don't apply.

Paul
He's not infallible unless he speaks in the right formula to proclaim something. So, perhaps he was just mistaken and, mistaken or not, he was and is still pope.
DeleteDear professor I have a question that maybe you will deem fit to answer at some time. Much of the "spirit of Vatican 2" centers around the so called newly discovered "dignity of Man." It is all wrapped up in modern personalism from philosophers like Husserl. JPll was much into this. The tradition and the Thomistic view do not in any way endorse this view. With original sin man lost original justice and needs a Redeemer to restore his dignity and friendship with God. If man has an innate dignity after the fall (not just traces) then he can redeem himself through ways other than Christ....is this what Vat2 teaches? Oh of course Jesus is the best way, but not the only way. It all sounds vaguely like Talmudic Freemasonry; Freedom, Equality and Fraternity...the Rights of man, the French Revolution (and communist revolution) with only a veneer of authentic Catholicism to trap the unsuspecting. The council more and more appears to be a disaster with criminal machinations involved. I have read Thomas on Craftiness, Guile and Fraud. To substantially depart from The Tradition is to cease to be Catholic. So was the Council a Catholic thing with traces of error or a very non Catholic thing with traces of Catholicism, I have come to believe it is the latter.
ReplyDeleteThe assertion that the NO is the same liturgy as the TLM defies common sense.
ReplyDeleteFr. Hesse made me into a traditional Catholic or lets just say plain old Catholic. You have to understand what you don't know first and he learned me when I was still going to the Novus Ordo on Sunday morning and wondering what was wrong.
