This gift of truth and never-failing faith was therefore divinely conferred on Peter and his successors in this see so that they might discharge their exalted office for the salvation of all, and so that the whole flock of Christ might be kept away by them from the poisonous food of error and be nourished with the sustenance of heavenly doctrine. This involves more of an exterior attack from the evil one: diabolical oppression involves those things that affect a persons life from the outside. (Charles D. Fraune). Ripperger tells us only to trust the teaching of the Popes when they meet the condition for Papal Infallibility. Ripperger has composed. Precision is everything in spiritual warfare. The fact that these conditions are even seen playing themselves out with St. Peter over the issue of circumcision is a sign that God, Who is the Author of Scripture, wants to affirm that while Peter and his successors are infallible, they are so only under certain conditions. [Ripperger, Chad.

I have a better question for Fr. But his source of truth is not Tradition, Scripture, Magisterium, but rather the traditionalist culture in the Church. Pius IX in Tuas Libenter says that we are to hold those teachings as pertaining to the Faith not only found in the decrees of the councils but also in the universal and constant consensus of the Catholic Theologians. Gabriel Lickteig is the chaplain for Northwest Missouri State University's Newman Catholic Center in the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph, Missouri. Then a subtle implied accusation against Peter. Rather, it was an exercise of the highest level of magisterial authority: an Ecumenical Council with and under the pope. And his error was not even personally grave, not a mortal sin. Dont trust Honorius. And I will avoid raising this topic again, unless you decide to write an article specifically about this :).

Some Popes disagreed with one another on the Pauline privilege. There are many talks by deliverance team members on Liber Cristo, Jesus 911, the Dolorans, Sensus Fidelium etc. Rippergers explanation of Magisterial Authority is designed to place the traditionalist subculture above the Pope. So that would invalidate any Council led or approved by an heretical Pope. In giving this assent, we neo-conservatives show more Catholic devotion to the Roman Church than the traditionalists do. The main problem here seems to be an implicit pseudo-magisterial authority given to the conservative Catholic subculture. Chad Ripperger.

This ressourcement resulted in the documents of Vatican II. {2:38} Yet truly, Peter said to them: Do penance; and be baptized, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins.

And listen to the words of Ryan Grant, summing up Rippergers book: Thus, this handy little work, while serving as an anti-dote to modernism and a solution to the problem when we see this coming from members of the magisterium. The book supports traditionalism against modernism, and solves the problem of having to listen to members of the magisterium. This idea itself is part of Catholic teaching.
