You could find the entire text of Pope Pius IX’s document at NewAdvent.org, and then, assuming good reading comprehension, you could understand the exact meaning he intended to convey. Having achieved this, you could either agree or disagree with the belief presented.

I suspect that you are assuming the impossible. Bear in mind that anything not presented in comic book form eclipses the abilities of the majority of anti-Catholic.

Don’t you think Gen. Bunting would be able to do something like that, if this particularly phrasing were of deep concern to him? Do you imagine he reached the age of 70, and his high military and academic positions, without ever encountering the Basic Anti-Catholic Talking Points?

Yeah, let's see: he has been the president/superintendent of THREE colleges (and was also among the finalists to president of the College of William and Mary back in the mid-1980s), headmaster at one of the nation's most prestigious prep schools, a professor at West Point, a Rhodes Scholar and the author of numerous books. I suppose, in the minds of some, that this is somehow evidence that the lacks the intelligence necessary to avoid being duped by the Catholic Church. Judge Robert Bork is another such intellectual lightweight who was duped.

Yes, it's amazing that so many people, having achieved such academic, political, and military positions ... so many successful writers ... so many theologians ... and even I, your Humble Suburban Breeder, and Der Prinz auf Nerdz, that networking wizard ... cannot understand what the Catholic Church really believes, even when Lorraine Boettner explains it to us in nice simple English just like Jesus talked.
