OK. You define it any way you want--it's useless to quote authorities like the Council's own documents, or Ratzinger, or whoever.

Funny. You can't abide the Trads who are wrong--and you can't abide the folks, like me, who simply take the Council at its own word.

Where are you going with this??

I. True Meaning of Infallibility

II. Proof of the Church's Infallibility

III. Organs of Infallibility

<> That is from the Catholic Encyclopedia. Itis not my definition. ALL Ecumenical Councils ARE Infallible. Period. <>

CG: Yes, God gave us all a heart to love Him. But he also gave us a mind to know Him.

You don't want to think. You don't want others to think. You demand blind obedience, not with full assent of the will, but with obliteration of the will. That is not Catholic; that is Islamic.
