Nevertheless, the divisions among Christians prevent the Church from realizing in practice the fullness of Catholicity proper to her, in those of her sons and daughters who, though attached to her by baptism, are yet separated from full communion with her. Furthermore, the Church herself finds it more difficult to express in actual life her full Catholicity in all its bearings.

Here, in #4 of the same decree on ecumenism, Vatican II denies that the Church of Christ is fully Catholic!

Hey Reggie! Guess what? I've found "Catholics" who can't read either. Are you proud?

Francisco, look at what is said.

the divisions among Christians prevent the Church from realizing in practice the fullness of Catholicity proper to her

Prevent the Church from "realizing in practice" the "fullness" of "Catholicity proper to her."

The Church, due to the existence of Protestants and others, is prevented from practicing the fullness of Catholicity.

What Catholicity?

The Catholicity that is "proper to her."

To schismatic this is the Church denying that the Church is fully Catholic. What a poor reading.

If I deny that I can fully exercise something that does not mean I do not possess it.

More:

more difficult to express in actual life her full Catholicity

Her what?

Her "full Catholicity."

This is also a "denial" of the full Catholicity of the Church by the schismatics. Very poor reading. Black is white. Up is down.

Once again:

You're right. The schismatic post-conciliar church (post #268, paragraph 6) is denying that the Church is fully Catholic. What else is new?
