"It is okay to agree with those doctrines that match your personal beliefs, without bashing the entire Magisterium in your disdain for certain articles that don't line up with your traditionalist views."

You are posting nonsense. I don't disagree with doctrines on the basis of "personal beliefs" as you say. It is not my "personal belief" that indifferentism and syncretism are heresies. That is Catholic doctrine. It is John Paul II who doesn't seem to take such doctrines very seriously, not I.

As for "bashing the Magisterium", that is an even sillier charge. It is not "bashing the Magisterium" to say that popes should not be elevating heretics to the cardinalate or that they should not be offering our altars to witchdoctors for worship to false gods. It's not my fault the Pope himself does these things--and much else equally as heterodox.

Why do you bash the Pope on these threads? Do you think he reads them or anyone else in the Vatican for that matter? But there may be Catholics who are be weak in their faith who read your posts, or those who are looking to convert to Catholicism.

Faithful Catholics all know the smoke of Satan has entered the Church. Would you tell a potential Catholic convert of all the problems in the Church before they converted? Of course not, because they probably would look to find a Protestant church then. In fact, everyone who bashes the Pope here is doing nothing more than causing scandal against the Holy Father, which is a GRAVE SIN!
