There is a lot of talk on this thread about “development of doctrine.” One must be very careful. All Catholics should know by now that Vatican II and the popes born of that council have publicly demonstrated many heresies and acts of apostasy (worshiping with non-Catholics, kissing Koran, etc ad nauseum.) Eghtydeuce82, (the year of birth, perhaps?) has said that the Church is the people of God and the people of God is the Church. And so, he takes a democratic view of the issue, and falls prey to the Vatican II error that the Church is still developing. The “People of God,” and their primacy is a novelty and a heresy promulgated by Modernist Rome.
Church doctrine is unchangeable. The Deposit of Faith was complete at the death of the last Apostle. Doctrine can be more clearly defined, as it was in the case of the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception, but never changed or “developed.” That idea comes from the errors of darwinism and teilhardism. The Church is not, contrary to many recent heretical statements of conciliar popes, “journeying,” or “incomplete,” or “learning.” The duty of the Pope and the hierarchy is to safeguard this Deposit of Faith, a duty of which the last 5 popes have been grievously derelict.
In effect, the visible structure of the Church was hijacked at Vatican II by those holding to the Modernist heresy, and thus the prophesy of Our Lady of LaSalette was realized. “Rome will lose the Faith and become the seat of antichrist.”} This is what we see today.
Kaspar is a public and notorious heretic, believing that all religions are good. Catholics should flee these enemies of the Church, whether or not they wear red hats in the Vatican. Nothing that Kaspar says can be taken seriously since, by his publically manifested heresy, he has ex-communicated himself ipso facto.
The doctrine about the indissolubility of marriage will not and cannot change. If the Vatican II sect does change it, Catholics must not go along with them.
One cannot go wrong by using the teachings of pre-conciliar popes and pre-conciliar catechisms, 1917 Cannon Law, and the work of St. Thomas Aquinas and other pre-conciliar saints as guides to True Catholic doctrine. Nothing promulgated by John Paul II, Benedict XVI or Francis can be trusted. These men were infected with Modernism and cannot transmit the Truth of the Faith.
Very sadly, this modernists sect is about to canonize their own “saint,” JP2, a man whose papacy was a dismal failure; who as pope, refused to discipline the Church and allowed errors to multiply, worshiped with members of false religions and brought confusion to millions of souls. There is little doubt that JP2 is in hell, and not a Saint of God in Heaven. With Kaspar and others, he was central in creating a new false religion, falsely using the name of Catholicism, built of previously condemned errors of ecuminism, collegiality and religious “freedom” (indifferentism.) He continued the promulgation of the “abomination of desolation, standing where it ought not, in the holy place” the new mass, while trying to use the True Mass as a bargaining chip.
If these heretics do allow Communion for the divorced, priestesses, married (homosexual?) clergy or whatnot, they will be permitting them for the new modernist religion created by Vatican II, and true Catholics must not believe that these rejections of past infallibly proclaimed doctrine are legitimate. These are not simply matters of discipline that can be changed.
Just a note for those playing at home, it is not the Catholic position that Vatican II and the recent popes “have publicly demonstrated many heresies and acts of apostasy.”
