So? VII was specifically NOT a doctrinal Council.

Of course it wasn't. And CG knows that. He clings to obedience the way Trads do to Latin. He ignores the greater issue, the disobedience, heresies and crimes of the Modern hierarchs. By attacking TLM, Una Voce and the like he tries to distract from the 900 lb dead horse in the living room.

The Magisterium of the Church
85 "The task of giving an authentic interpretation of the Word of God, whether in its written form or in the form of Tradition, has been entrusted to the living teaching office of the Church alone. Its authority in this matter is exercised in the name of Jesus Christ."47 This means that the task of interpretation has been entrusted to the bishops in communion with the successor of Peter, the Bishop of Rome.
86 "Yet this Magisterium is not superior to the Word of God, but is its servant. It teaches only what has been handed on to it. At the divine command and with the help of the Holy Spirit, it listens to this devotedly, guards it with dedication and expounds it faithfully. All that it proposes for belief as being divinely revealed is drawn from this single deposit of faith."48
87 Mindful of Christ's words to his apostles: "He who hears you, hears me",49 the faithful receive with docility the teachings and directives that their pastors give them in different forms.
You have interesting opinions. However, you have no authority. Neither do the Hildebrands. The Magisterium does.
