“However, a succession of popes has reiterated that as distorted as their view of Christ may be, because Protestants in fact worship Christ, they potentially may be saved through extra-ordinary (as in, “beyond the normal”) means.”
Is that why both Cardinal Kasper and Cardinal Bergoglio, now Pope Francis, were so ticked-off with Pope Benedict’s “Anglican Ordinariate”?
P.S. How far back does your “succession of popes” go? Does it go past 1957 A.D.?
Oh, so you’re a sedevacantist, are you? Even Lefebvre signed on to Vatican II, so, yes, it’s interpretation of the Council of Trent is authoritative.
Kasper disliked the Anglican Ordinariate because the Anglicans disliked it, and he was trying to negotiate with them as a whole. What relevance that has to our debate utterly escapes me.
