If I am in error as to doctrine, I am in heresy and I am therefore not in the Church and, again as St. Paul said, "most miserable"

If that is the way that you want it, Graves, so be it:

You are in error as to doctrine. You are in heresy and you are therefore not in the Church and, again as St. Paul said, "most miserable."

As to the anathemas of the Orthodox: Little weight do I give to what are the opinions and decrees of what are only local synods.

At least you are now being consistent Petrosius, and for that I give you credit. But you cannot say what you said on your own authority as a Roman Catholic, unless you are yourself Pope Benedict XVI. So, if you are saying what you just said on your own authority, you are at odds with the Pope of Rome unless your position is consistent with his.
Is it?
My impression is that Pope Benedict XVI takes a far different view, as did also Pope John Paul II and Pope Paul VI. And my impression is that the College of Cardinals and the Roman episcopate follow the line of thinking on this of Pope Benedict XVI.
I know of none in the Roman camp who join you in your position, not even the societies of SSPX and SSPV. I do know of one the vagrant bishops (episcopi vagrantes) who might agree with you. He, of course, is not considered at all part of the mainstream. That would be Bishop Daniel Dolan. Are you a Dolanite?

I guess that allows you to ignore Vatican 1 & 2!
