ealgeone "Vatican II to be dogma"

That makes as much sense as "The council is dogma" -- a council like Vatican II is a meeting in which dogma generally is discussed - the meeting (council) itself is not dogma, it's a meeting

Councils in the Church are / were called only when there were questions raised or detailed clarification needed for aspects of belief that have been held. They don't create dogma

Vatican II did lead to Lumen Gentium which was a document that did have dogma defined / clarified within it

Now within Lumen Gentium there are multiple dogma defined.

Catholics can interpret the Bible within boundaries - for instance limbo is one example. But we don't believe in non-biblical beliefs like sola scriptura or sola Fide

You’re going Clintonian now. You’re losing the argument when you resort to this tactic.
