Right - I was criticizing the Cardinal by pointing out that the declaration on religious liberty (to which doctrine he refers), condemns his foolish idea "it is important that each person remain loyal to his or her own faith".

Interesting conclusion.

Is the declaration on religious liberty declaring a doctrine?

This is good, in it's conclusion. It's how you arrived at that conclusion that interests me.

Wouldn't using the three declared errors and the ex cathedra statement be a much more effective argument in this situation?

After all, it's never been consistant with Catholic doctrine to force conversions. That being the case, using this angle to prove the False ecumenism of Cardinal Tauron seems far less potent, less effective... especially since I'd stake my life on it that he doesn't approve of forced conversions either.

Therefore, the use of a declaration regarding religious liberty seems far the lesser of two possible arguments.

Does this seem right?
