Then show me where Unum Sanctum survived Vatican II.

Are you suggesting an "Infallible" Papal Bull can be negated by a later act of a Pope or a Council?

I'm not well versed in all this, but my impression, FWIW, is that Unam Sanctam is one of the strongest pieces of evidence for Old Reggie's view that no teaching cannot be refined into something almost its opposite, or whatever OR says.

I think that the, so to speak 'resolving trend' over time is that the idea of ONE Church and of its identity as body and bride of Christ purges Unam Sanctam of the sense that if one hasn't done homage to the pontiff one will become a crispy critter.
