1, ok cool.
2, 3, 4. Submission is the issue. Like them, you find submission to Benedict XVI difficult.
“5) Let’s see how you submit to the pope when he issues a decree that you don’t like? Do you contraceptives? 99% of Catholics use them. I doubt if 1% of you who claim to follow the pope have had all the children God has sent you.”
And you lose. I have never used contraception. I am hoping, God willing, to have a family.
Luther and Calvin did not "find submission difficult", they outright rejected the authority of the office of the pope. They were schismatics, and heretics.
Besides, what exactly is there that you feel that the author of the article is not "submitting" too? Obviously, B-16 and his local ordinary in New Hampshire do not see what you see.
This progressivist ruse of "submit" is a now almost 50 year old and can be seen now for what it was, a ploy to get the ignorant of the faith to submit to their lying novelty religion. Open your eyes, All the progressivists and their stooges are not submitting to all the popes of 1960 years. Today, they teach "who knows who is outside of the Church?"
ST. VINCENT OF LERINS (400-450 AD) CONFESSOR OF THE CHURCH
"What then should a Catholic do if some part of the Church were to separate itself from communion with the universal Faith? What other choice can he make but to prefer to the gangrenous and corrupted member the whole of the body that is sound. And if some new contagion were to try to poison no longer a small part of the Church, but all of the Church at the same time, then he will take the greatest care to attach himself to antiquity which, obviously, can no longer be seduced by any lying novelty." (Commonitorium)
