Klaus Schatz [Jesuit Father theologian, professor of church history at the St. George’s Philosophical and Theological School in Frankfurt] in his work, “Papal Primacy ,” pp. 1-4 :

I have yet to see anyone take on the Schatz quotes. The times you post his references and countless others, I have not seen a response.

That would be because if anything is provided which impugns Rome, it is to be dismissed under the following rules for RCs (which one RC actually affirmed works for him):

1. Such are driven by hatred of the Catholic church (meaning Roman), The principle goes back to the Immaculate Conception conceived of by Rome: “(The mere fact that the Church teaches the doctrine of the Assumption as definitely true is a guarantee that it is true.” — Catholicism and Fundamentalism, p. 275;

2. Any Catholic scholars you cite are liberal and thus cannot ever possibly represent true Scriptural or historical analysis. The very fact that they do not uphold the historical picture of the past that we have come to know and love means they are liberal.

3. If it is true that the Vatican appointed some of these to positions of influence without censure, that is not a negative reflection on the Church. Its the fault of Protestantism, the root of all evil, which must always be broadly defined (and includes FreeMasons). But the goodness of Rome leads to repentance.

4. In contrast, any and all manner of evil can be attributed Martin Luther, the devil incarnate, and is only denied by biased anti-Catholics who are not to be believed due to reason #1.
