And permit me to repeat the unanswered questions:

By the way, is it possible that you are misunderstanding exactly what was stated? Why don’t you simply, as the author, Jimmy Akin, has stated...pray for the success of the Church in trying to heal any division/misunderstanding?

By the way, is it possible that you are misunderstanding exactly what was stated?

Are you expecting an official clarification that will resolve the apparent conflicts between Vatican II and previous infallible doctrine? I am all ears but it has been more than 40 years since the end of the Vatican II council. Until there is clarification, one can only go by the surface meanings of conciliar documents.

The anti-Catholic justforcatholics.org used the apparent liberalism of Nostra Aetate to attack Church teaching. Was Gloria.TV wrong to defend against this attack by appealing to Catholic Tradition that contradicts Nostra Aetate?

The Church has never taught according to Gnostic interpretations of cryptic of statements that mean something different than what they say. Catholic doctrine has always been out in the open--accessible to all--in your face--take it or leave it.

Non-Catholics find Vatican II contradictory and wide open to attack. The apparent (heretical) liberalism of Vatican II has not been clarified for more than 40 years. Given the contradictions between the liberal council and infallible Catholic Tradition, should orthodox Catholics choose to defend the former over the latter?

Why don’t you simply, as the author, Jimmy Akin, has stated...pray for the success of the Church in trying to heal any division/misunderstanding?

I do that frequently along with Rosary prayers. I pray for graces of doctrinal unity and clear thinking to overcome division and misunderstanding.

Do you give assent to Pope Benedict as the true head of the Church at the present time?

Yes. Have I said anything to indicate otherwise?
