Counter-Reformation Catholic Theologian Stapleton Vs. Vatican II
Fr. Thomas Stapleton (d. 1598) was a noted English Counter-Reformation Catholic theologian and scripture scholar. He was named prothonotary Apostolic by Pope Clement VIII. He correctly taught, in accordance with traditional Catholic teaching, that the multitude of Protestants who reject Catholic teaching can “in no way” belong to the Church of Christ. That is the opposite of the teaching of Vatican II.
Fr. Thomas Stapleton (Catholic Theologian), Principiorum fidei doctrinalium demonstratio, 1578, Book 4, Chap. 7: “… let us conclude that our adversaries [the Protestants] in no way can belong to the Church; but we, by a singular benefit of God to be in that society which is the true and only Church of Christ. First we will speak concerning the prior part, and then concerning the latter part. I say therefore that the multitude and assembly of Protestants, who today call themselves Evangelicals, and who have gone out from the Roman Church, cannot be the true Church of God and of Christ.”
