You speak so little with so many words, and it isn’t even a compliment. Don’t flatter yourself. Your arguments can easily be refuted.

Your projection of presupposition is effected by your own ignorance, ironically you can’t see that, but rather you further attribute more presupposition by the opponents ad absurdum.

Work with the facts, man. That is all I’m asking. I am assuming you now take the ‘recognize-and-resist’ position.

What we can do is work with the reality and the events that have happened to the Church since Vatican II.

Get down from the high clouds of intellectualism, and deal the right cards.

Show me your evidence.

I’ll be willing to argue on your own philosophical level and on your own ideological terms and demands. I’ll work with them, but I need the facts and the objective truth. It isn’t just your faith which is at sake,  it is mine as well.

So let’s begin.

I’m glad you quoted for me some real text to work with, Canon 1557 reads as follows:

1. It belongs only to the Roman Pontiff to adjudicate:

… 2. Cardinal Fathers;

You said:

“What we have, then, is that such judgment of Cardinals rests entirely with the Roman Pontiff, any and all other judges being absolutely incompetent. This would include any autonomous judgment, be it from a lay person or a bishop. Entirely isn’t partially or primary, and the same may be said of the absolute incompetence of any other judge.”

No disagreement here on the authority of the Roman Pontiff to judge a Cardinal. What about the Holy Office? Can they also judge punitive heresy by an ecclesiastic other than the Pope?

Again, I said I would debate on your own terms and demands.

So which Cardinal has been judged by the Roman Pontiff for punitive heresy since Second Vatican Council? If they haven’t been canonically judged by the Roman Pontiff, are they still spiritually inside the Church?

What about “Archbishop” Zollitsch from Freiburg, Germany, who denied the Redemptive Sacrifice of Our Blessed Lord on German TV?

As the clock ticks by, and we haven’t heard anything from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, how many souls will be misled? When is Benedict XVI going to punish Cardinals and bishops for heresies?

But then again, which aspect of heresy are we talking about– moral or canonical? Because if it is a punitive heresy judged by the Roman Pontiff, then we MUST be talking about a canonical case of heresy being a crime punishable by the Roman Pontiff? Right?

Morally, when the sin of heresy is committed in reality, it results an automatic break from spiritual communion with the Church, as in case of a cleric, guilt is presumed. Correct?

If you deny this, you’re a heretic.

You reject the reality of tacit resignation spoken in Canon 188.4 which takes place by the automatic operation of the law, recognized by the law itself. This you reject, and this I condemn you.
