Yes, the Council was continuous with what the Church taught before the Council in the same way that a car’s path before and after a u-turn is continuous. For that matter, Judas’s days as a faithful Apostle were continuous with his time as the man who betrayed Christ. Continuity, as it turns out, is far less important in matters of the Faith than consistency and conformity with God’s immutable truth.

I haven’t read the article yet, but I will. I just wanted to give you my kneejerk reaction to the title of the post first. I think the most dangerous heresy he has promoted is the idea of mercy without repentance. That alone will be responsible for thousands, if not millions, of souls dying without true repentance, and thus, in a state of eternal suffering and death.

I gotta admit… I didn’t see that coming.

But in my defense, I have been seriously reconsidering my opinion of JPII in recent years for pretty much the reasons discussed in the article.
