The “Vatican II leaders”, as you call them, are in fact the hierarchy of the Catholic church, and they are the ones who, according to “centuries of unified theology” get to define who is and who isn’t in communion with their church.
If we instead follow your reasoning, then absolutely anyone can call themselves “Catholic”, based on their own personal definition of what that is. Now personally, I don’t really care much about that, but I do think it’s gaming the system to use the “Catholic Caucus” tag for threads that seem to be rejecting the Catholic church. Maybe make a new tag?
Eh nothing to be concerned about..
.those of us who are Catholic are now getting their posts deleted by those who think we aren’t Catholic. Even though forum rules state otherwise.
