I seriously doubt it. There were 25 session each issuing a Encyclical report. At the most you have read less than 1% of these and of that I doubt you comprehended much

See. That's where you're wrong. I have read and reread the entire Council of Trent several times. Now I suspect that you have never read the Council of Orange nor could you comprehend it if you did. Its decrees contradicts the Council of Trent's decrees. I've noticed that you have failed to specifically address the contradictory Canons from the CofO and the CofT. But you're certainly not the first Catholic to do so.

"Now I suspect that you have never read the Council of Orange nor could you comprehend it if you did."

That's where you would be wrong because I have read it in the original Latin in college, not some cobbled together English version on an anti-Catholic website. If I recall, and its been a while, we also used a book written by a Protestant Theologian from Oxford as an English language reference. (Catholic Universities are very balanced in these things)

And, for the record, Orange didn't contradict Trent, as an official Ecumenical Council of the Church superseded and corrected Orange. The fact that the Church rejected Orange for 900+ years before Trent may drive up its market value amongst Protestants, but should really be an indication of its errors and fallibility. It also sheds some light on just how unremarkable and unoriginal Jean Calvin really was.

Do you realize how stupid you appear when you try to tell Catholics what we believe and teach. Why don't you just stick to the truth and tell us why you don't agree with it. I would respect that, but not the game you are trying to play.
