Our current Magisterium under heretic "Pope" cannot be followed by orthodox Catholics as it bases its teachings on Vatican II which is clearly the work of the devil. <br /><br />In our present day confusion in the Church I choose to follow the direction and teaching of Archbishop Vigano. I would suggest that all Catholics do the same.Michael Dowdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16650782589323136700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848362360964404779.post-4398346472418480502021-03-08T04:47:14.045-06:002021-03-08T04:47:14.045-06:00Without this living Magisterium, one is left to in...Without this living Magisterium, one is left to interpret all of the documents of the Church, from the Sacred Scriptures themselves--the Word of God written--to the writing of the Church Fathers--which bear witness, esp. where they consent, to Sacred Tradition--to all the various OEcumenical Councils, Papal teachings, etc.--to interpret them on one's own (as Protestants do of Holy Writ), or, in accord with that Schismatic Church to which one belongs (as the Greek Orthodox do of the First Seven OEcumenical Councils, of Holy Writ & Holy Tradition). One example of a schismatic church--who left at the First Vatican Council--the Old Catholic Church--as Pope Francis points out, now 'ordain' women to the 'priesthood'(!)

Father Treco, I think, does intend to be perfectly orthodox. The same can be said for Bishop Lopes. The former, though, is orthodox more along the lines of the Eastern Orthodox, who lack communion with the Holy Father & the living Magisterium of the Catholic Church. Whereas the latter lives in communion with this living Magisterium who are the Bishops of the Catholic Church, successors of 'Peter & the apostles'. Only the Catholic Church lives in Communion with the Pope, the Successor of St Peter, renamed 'rock' by Our Lord, upon whom, as He promised, the 'gates of hell' will never 'prevail' (cf. St Matthew's Gospel, 16th Chapter). Only in this Church, by means of her Magisterium, can an OEcumenical Council still be effectively convoked having Our Lord's promise of infallibility.
