How many is enough for you? We can play this game all night.
In Dei Verbum the Council states the Church has always venerated Scripture AS she venerates the Lord's Body. Not true. We reverence the one, but worship the other. Granted the "as" is ambiguous, but the statement is a distortion of the truth.

two is enough...

I will do some reading and I will get back to you... I have to watch the little one (which I am not doing a good job), and I am sure you don't mind if we take a rain check on the discussion.

Oh, for crying out loud, my brother. You sound like a bitter Baptist, straining, squirming and parsing to find SOME little imperfection to throw in the face of one of those "God-cursed Catholic monsters".

Look, I think VII devastated the Church according to Satan's plan. But to say it contained doctrinal or moral errors is simply to attack the Chair of Peter and thus the promises of Christ. I just cannot go there. I wish you wouldn't. I am just as hurt and offended by the Nervous Disorder Circuses as you, my friend, but VII never intended for such abominations to happen.

I wish you would come into full union with the Vicar of Christ and fight the abuses from within. You have so much knowledge and wisdom to offer in this great battle of restoration after Satan's century has come to a close. With you on the outside, the Church's internal enemies can just dismiss you as a scismatic.

(sigh) My heart hurts, honestly.
