"the issue is not whether I know better than the Pope, but
whether other popes knew far better than this one--which traditionalists believe
to be the case. "

Great...so you don't believe in the bit about the "Gates of hell not prevailing against it." sheesh. Enjoy your sect....

Look, suppose you stop worrying about what I think and look to your own thinking--which is pretty muddled. The guarantee that the gates of Hell would not prevail against the Church doesn't necessarily mean those in charge can't screw up. As for my belonging to a cult, I'm a traditional Catholic. This means I believe and practice what Catholics have believed and practiced for two thousand years. If I'm not in step with what's going on in your local parish--that's not my problem, it's theirs and yours. Maybe you're the one who should investigate whether your own faith is truly Catholic.
