"UR: If and when you become pope (how unlikely is that!), you will be able to substitute your self-serving rationalizations for the judgments of John Paul II."
It's the other way around. You're the one excommunicating people and calling people schismatics. I'm arguing principles and canon law. Your argument is loonier--the Pope is always right no matter what. It's apparently a dogma of faith with you--and it's false. No Catholic is obliged to believe the Pope was right when he wrote that Motu Proprio. It was not infallible and it made no sense, given the facts behind the consecrations.
Check the signature on Ecclesia Dei: JP II not Black Elk. Your heroes were excommunicated and your movement declared in schism. not by me but by the pope that I and all actual Catholics acknowledge as the Vicar of Christ on Earth.
You mean the Pope mentioned the posters here at Freerepublic? No wonder you think he's godlike. Not only can he probe the inner workings of men's consciences without any objective evidence whatsoever, but he can channel his thoughts to you.
My oh my the caliedescope turns!
Is this what the Miracle of the Sun was fortelling?
