"...who apparently hasn't read the new testament."

I've read it several times actually, and this is what the New Testament "thinks" of people who will not listen to the Church:

Matt 18,15 "But if thy brother shall offend against thee, go, and rebuke him between thee and him alone. If he shall hear thee, thou shalt gain thy brother.

16 And if he will not hear thee, take with thee one or two more: that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may stand. 17 And if he will not hear them: tell the church. And if he will not hear the church, let him be to thee as the heathen and publican."

My opinion is irrelevant, hear the Council of Trent - hear the Church!

Thank you for saying your opinion is irrelevant. I wouldn't have gone that far. I just think you are caught up the the emotions of defending your position in the face of the overwhelming evidence in Acts that it is God's intent for us to hear his word and worship language.

You have excommunicated me in your own pride, but there's still hope for you. Pray, do penance, and be humble and the word of God will reach you in whatever language you will understand. I also will pray for you, even though in your anger you would have me expelled from the womb of Holy Mother the Church.

I will leave you now to contemplate the sin of pride.
