Conditionally accepting your line of thought, we can go back to the original topic: the Old Rite Mass.

The Council did NOT teach infallibly about the Rite of the Mass. The Rite is a CANON LAW matter, reserved to the Holy See.

It is regulatory, not doctrinal, not dogmatic.

Catholic Guy doesn't want to understand this. Perhaps he had a bad experience someplace, or has a headache, or has a sizeable investment in the New Rite.

In any case, he is simply wrong.

<> I not only understand that, I have never said otherwise.

I have had bad experiences previously. I used to watch C-Span.

Whether I have had a headache,West Nile Virus, the vapors, psitacosis or irritable bowel syndrome is irrelevant. I understand the Liturgy is not doctrine. <>
