"You're wrong! What do you call LG#25?"
Where exactly in LG#25 do you detect the Council fathers claiming that they are at that point making a binding doctrinal definition?
Most of this section is simply a re-statement of previously defined dogmatic teaching such as that found in Pastor Aeternus. There would be no sense therefore in making a new definition of what had already been defined. It is obviously true, but it is not being promulgated as a doctrinal definition that is binding on the faithful.
As Cardinal Ratzinger has said, Vatican II did not make any new doctrinal definitions.
