You are missing the point. It is the Magisterium which judges the Magisterium. Not you.

Fortunately as traditionalists we have the 2,000 Tradition of the Church by which to measure whether and where Vatican II and the post-Conciliar Magisterium is deficient or not

*Replace "traditionalists" (sola traditio)with "protestants" (sola scriptura) and I will agree with you. You say you will search Tradition to decide when the Magisterium is deficient while the protestant will search the Bible to decide when the Magisterium is deficient. That makes you no different than the protestant because you both, in essence, makes of yourselves the final authority. And you are both wrong. Jesus established a LIVING TEACHING AUTHORITY.

[Tantumergo]

"Jesus established a LIVING TEACHING AUTHORITY."

Sure He did, but at Vatican II this LIVING TEACHING AUTHORITY told us it could give us DEFICIENT FORMULATIONS OF DOCTRINE. It sounds like this living teaching authority at some point became Protestant to me.

How can we trust a living teaching authority that tells us in its own words that its formulation of doctrine may be deficient?

Or do you not believe in the "infallibility" of this teaching of Vatican II?
