Catholicguy - I don't know whether it was Davies or which traditionalist in particular wrote this quote:

"Taking conciliar custom into consideration and also the pastoral purpose of Vatican II, the Council defined as binding on the Church only those things in matters of faith and morals which it openly declared to be binding."

But do you really think that holding these opinions would lead to schismatic tendencies? Surely you are not suggesting that every word of Vatican II is binding on us??

<> Yes, including "it" and "the." Cite a Magisterial Teaching that says individuals have authority to reject parts of an Ecumenical Council. This unfortunate priest posits a protestant principle that gives unjust liberty to soi disant traditionalists to reject, in whole or in part, an Ecumenical Council. It locates ultimate authority within the individual and gives that individual more power and authority than an Infallible Ecuemnical council. All Ecumenical Councils, by their nature, are infallible.

Davies as Prez of Una Voce will march them closer to the fever swamps of schism. Do you know who it was that formed Una Voce? They wouldn't have gotten with a light year's distance of such a statement as made by the poor priest.<>
