Pre-Vatican II popes didn’t make comments that went against Catholic teaching. Francis does and Catholics still defend it.
Honor and defense of the indefensible : Apples and oranges.
“Pre-Vatican II popes didn’t make comments that went against Catholic teaching. Francis does and Catholics still defend it.”
Oh, I see. So you’re saying that because the popes of old were all super-orthodox in your view they were worthy of papal idolatry (as you put it)? And since popes in the present day “went against Catholic teaching” in your opinion now, all-of-a-sudden, that “papal idolatry” is now bad? So it isn’t the “papal idolatry” that is wrong, it’s whether or not the pope is orthodox enough to warrant it according to piusv on FR?
