So I'm 6 mins in....and I'm confused? Benedict is wrong in a way? SSPX is wrong in a way? Flanders has the knowledge to correct them all? This may seem like a shot, but I'm seriously asking....when does this ever stop? Who has the final authority to lead the average Catholic into the truth? If we can't trust the visible Church, who can we trust? Is this just not the Protestant problem? Instead of me and my Bible. It's me and my traditional understanding.

Exactly...that's why as a conservative Protestant I know the Scripture is the best thing going as authority...giving thus up for claims of Rome ends up in just as much or more differences and arguments amongst themselves just trading Scripture for tradition.

@@Adam-ue2ig first you have to prove the Canon of Scripture. You're just assuming we have the same presuppositions. It's laughable that you don't think there are large disagreements in protestant land.

Well, no. I believe your reading too much into the title. He is not critiquing benedict as much as he is critiquing the common sspx misunderstanding...who often rightly hone in on liberal theology...but then wrongly attribute it to certain persons simply because they use similar terms.

@@joshanderson8566 The current confession of Faith from JPII gives us clearly what must be held, and what must be respected but can be respectfully disagreed wthfor just reason. Our intellect and reason are highly respected by the Church, but is formed and grounded by its fundamental truths. So your right, we have to trust the Church...and where the Church allows disagreement, we can have these discussions...but they should always be in the spirit of charity. So maybe these discussions would be more fruitful if less of the talking heads anathematized each other on a regular basis.

I think is better to avoid using titles like these. Even if you don’t hold that Ratzinger teaches heresy

We touch on whether or not Ratzinger holds to limited inerrancy (of Scripture). Keep in mind this is only a preview of the longer discussion.

Flanders and this guy talking about Pope Benedict committing heresy is so funny. Midgets trying to talk about a giant.

Ratzinger denied this historicity of the gospel of Matthew. He was a horrible modernist and false ecumenist.
@TheMeaningofCatholic6 ай бұрын
I think I speak for Flanders when I say that we agree Ratzinger is a giant, and that we are nowhere near his level. That being said, we do not impute heresy to him. We used that question as a video title to generate interest, not to advertise our conclusion. Did you watch the whole video? - Fowler

Benedict was not a giant. He was a modernist and was knee deep in the new theology which is not catholic.
