Not all of his opinions are retarded, I'm trying to maintain optimism. He seems likely to keep homosexuality and female clergy out of the Church.

Until they get rid of the Vatican II reforms they’re in a state of heresy.

Yeah.. doesn’t matter how many times sedevacantists say it.. but they’re right. It’s impossible to believe Vatican II reforms and believe in the divinity of Christ so you get what we got.

What reforms do you think invalidate the Church's position?
Reply to @[email protected]
Mainly that Allah and God are the same God. It’s a soft denial of the triune nature of Christ.. blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.. which is the sin that will never be forgiven.

That's absolutely the historic Christian understanding. Has been for more than a millennia. They worship God the same way Arians did - they are thinking of the right God, they just have a completely retarded understanding of Him. Read St. John of Damascus, he calls Islam "the heresy of the Ishmaelites" in the 700s AD - St. Thomas Aquinas takes a similar perspective. Islam, like modern Judaism or Arianism, is a Christian heresy. ​

Arians at least didn't deny Christ's divinity. Muslims at least believe He was the messiah. You can rank heresies by severity, oh look at what ends up on the bottom...

“The Catholic Church will not rest until every church is a mosque“ …basically.

I think they were just trying to find common ground to start the process of correcting them, the same way I might tell a unitarian, "hey, we believe in the same New Testament" to start a conversation that leads to me teaching them the Trinity. Maybe not a perfect approach, but not heresy. I think the modern understanding of extra ecclesium nulla salus is the closest V2 gets to heresy but I've read enough older declarations and letters that I'm comfortable with the language they use. If you want to attack V2, though, that would probably be a more debatable point :)
