Your dogmatic proclamations of your private interpretation of Vatican II doesn't become less incorrect because you state it dogmatically. It is still wrong, uninformed and without authority.

I'm just being logical, not dogmatic. Paul VI stated in the Nota Praeva, which was read aloud at the Council, that nothing the Council decided was to be considered binding unless openly declared as such. Since nothing the Council said was openly so declared, it taught nothing infallibly.

If I'm wrong, I would be happy to admit it. All you have to do is prove I am wrong by explaining which Vatican II doctrines were declared openly as binding on the Church. Actually a single binding declaration will do, no need to go on and on. If you believe you are right, that should be a cinch for you to specify. Simply name the doctrine which had been openly declared by Vatican II as binding on the Church according to the standard provided by Paul VI himself.

And please don't post more foolish articles and modernist propaganda instead of proving your point. It's unnecessary and proves nothing--especially when you lift articles from sites dedicated to bashing Catholic Tradition and intimidating unsuspecting Catholics with such nonsense. So simply name the doctrine or doctrines that were openly declared binding at Vatican II. I'm waiting--with bated breath.
