"But Protestants can be brought into full communion with the Catholic Church. I myself (once a Protestant) was brought into full communion with the Catholic Church when I was received into the Catholic Church. Not only am I now in full communion with my bishop, but through my union with him I am now also in full communion with all other Catholics."
Is that the new Romish notion of what communion is? Good heavens, will innovations never cease? What a Protestant notion!
Watch where you tread, using such language, for the sake of your Irish ancestors.
You really should read the Vatican I decree, A.
Do you mean the Vatican I that says the following?
5. This power of the Supreme Pontiff by no means detracts from that ordinary and immediate power of episcopal jurisdiction, by which bishops, who have succeeded to the place of the apostles by appointment of the Holy Spirit, tend and govern individually the particular flocks which have been assigned to them. On the contrary, this power of theirs is asserted, supported and defended by the Supreme and Universal Pastor; for St. Gregory the Great says: "My honor is the honor of the whole Church. My honor is the steadfast strength of my brethren. Then do I receive true honor, when it is denied to none of those to whom honor is due." [51]
