Your arrogant attack is typical. You can't win an argument, so you claim someone isn't Catholic. By my perspective the question is whether the Pope is Catholic, not whether traditionalists are. No traditionalists I know would have worshiped with animists--an act already defined as heretical by preconciliar popes--and one which certainly offends against the first commandment. And yet JPII had done just this. By what authority does he do this? His own? Since when has a pope the power to abrogate the Divine Law?

Er... we know.

The doctrine of the Mystical Body of Christ compares the Church to a human body. It is made up of many different parts, some visible and large, others hidden and small. Together, they complement each other and form a beautiful creation. Not all have the same job. Likewise with the Church. Not all are apostles, not all are prophets or healers or teachers. Yet all have an important role to play.

The 2004 version of the Mystical Body will be a great deal healthier when significant numbers of individuals humbly accept their true role in the Church, desist from acting as if they were the head, i.e. the Pope, and cease their attempts to assume charisms which are not proper to them.
