[Land of the Irish]

The Fathers attest to the fact that the church of Rome was the central and most authoritative church. They attest to the Church’s reliance on Rome for advice, for mediation of disputes, and for guidance on doctrinal issues. They note, as Ignatius of Antioch does, that Rome "holds the presidency" among the other churches, and that, as Irenaeus explains, "because of its superior origin, all the churches must agree" with Rome.

I see you're still lifting quotes and using them as if they were your own. I'm not surprised. http://www.catholic.com/library/Authority_of_the_Pope_Part_1.asp

You plagarize websites in order to win arguments here?

You know HTML, how to insert quotes and have been here long enough for this not to be any kind of accident.

Now I've truly seen everything. Anyone reading these threads should look at the behavior and tactics of those who obsess on the Society.

NYer,
I noticed that the truth contained in your post is ignored; personal attacks ensue rather than cogent debate on the point(s) of your posting.  Seems pretty clear that your post contains truth that mustn't have been put into a quick-n-easy SSPX apologetics pamphlet, eh?

I wouldn't give a moment's thought to the opinion of anyone who predictably snatches Bob Jones U jpegs to express their 'critique' of the Holy Father.  Surely you can be comfortable with the fact that your postings come from Catholic sources.

Thank you, and Siochan agus maitheas!
