Dear ultima ratio,

So you, too, are saying that an Ecumenical Council can teach what is not true?

You pose the question wrongly. It did not "teach" anything that hadn't been dogmatically proclaimed in the past. What it did was advise and offer pastoral counsel. In fact, it specifically stated nothing in its documents was de fide--i.e, demanding of our assent. Why do you suppose the liturgists were so quick to threw away the Council's suggestion to retain Latin and Gregorian Chant?
