The Correct Understanding of the Magisterium and Papal Infallibility

Understanding of the Magisterium

The Three Chapters

The “Strongest” Argument Against The Papacy (Pope Vigilius) – Refuted

This was a brilliant, scholarly video thoroughly refuting anti-papacy arguments regarding the "Three Chapters" controversy, and it contains a wealth of information and provides powerful quotes to confirm papal supremacy in the early Church. One thing I also found interesting is how the Catholic principle, rooted in Galatians 1, that manifest heretics automatically lose Church office and membership, sheds light on why the attendees of the Constantinople II assembly decided to break communion with Pope Vigilius and declare him outside the Church, while simultaneously claim to still have communion with the Roman see: they used the Galatians 1 principle to conclude that Vigilius no longer occupied the Roman See due to manifest heresy. True, they misapplied the principle, but they recognized it. It explains their thinking and actions on this point. Vatican II sect people who claim to be Catholic but deny the Catholic principle that manifest heretics ipso facto lose office, or that the early Church recognized this principle, could not adequately assess and explain what happened. This shows how true Catholics who embrace and utilize the full truth, are better equipped to defend true doctrines than some heretics who attempt to defend those same true doctrines.
