I don’t think I agree.

There have been extremely important Councils of the Church, and there have been obscure or ineffective Councils of the Church. But none of them teach heresy.

My own take on Vatican II is that God kept them from teaching anything heretical, as I’m afraid some of the participants hoped and intended. But it was not the kind of major, transformational council that they had hoped for. Not a Council that changed the course of history, such as the Council of Jerusalem, the Council of Nicea, or the Council of Trent.

Important as it has seemed to many in the Church in our day, whether positive or negative, I think it will recede into history as one of those forgotten Councils. It did not teach teach heresy, but it did not teach anything terribly useful, either.

I don’t know what you disagree with since I agree with everything that you wrote thereafter. Please explain what you don’t agree with.

God and the Lord Jesus Christ is not ONLY with the Catholics - but most importantly - God and our Savior Christ Jesus IS with all GRACE believers IN CHRIST as Christ is thee Head of the Church (Colossians 1:18). All GRACE believers who received IN CHRIST truth are real Saints as declared by God in His Word (Jesus Christ). See and read all the Pauline epistles, as Paul clearly calls ALL All GRACE believers SAINTS.
