You have painted yourself in a corner.
In Post 40, you said:
“Has there been a single ex cathedra statement since the proclamation of the Dogma of the Immaculate Conception?”
I believe you were implying the answer is, “No”. If not, please list subsequent “ex cathedra” statements. If you can’t, please drop the infallibility canard about the post-conciliar popes.
My larger point in this discussion is what obedience/respect is due to the Pope and his brother bishops?
Are we obliged to only follow dogma? Are we obliged to follow the teachings of the local ordinary?
What obedience can be expected?
In my opinion, we must be obedient in dogmatic teachings, the observance of the liturgy, observance of Obligations put forth, and general teachings of the Church.
In some cases, such as capital punishment, we are not required to share the same view as the Church, but should seriously take its opinion to heart.
On the other hand, say cohabitation, no dogmatic teaching is necessary to know it is unacceptable.
In relation to this entire discussion, I have questioned your position related to the article. I have called you out on your general attitude to the Holy Father and his predecessors.
I have also stated that your general attitude creates division.
Finally, why would you, a faithful member of the Roman Catholic Church, post an article by Dici, the communication agency of the Priestly Society of St. Pius X, and then support it??
Do you consider Dici and its writings positive in the nourishment of your soul? Do you consider their writings positive in promoting Christian unity?
Do yourself and others a favor: distance yourself from SSPX and don’t promote their schismatic positions.
