“Those therefore who after the manner of wicked heretics dare to set aside Ecclesiastical Traditions, and to invent any kind of novelty, or to reject any of those things entrusted to the Church, or who wrongfully and outrageously devise the destruction of any of those Traditions enshrined in the Catholic Church, are to be punished thus: if they are bishops, we order them to be deposed; but if they are monks or lay persons, we command them to be excluded from the community.”
Second Council of Nicaea 787 A.D.

Catholics who love the Church and are devout, believing the truths she has always taught are not “Pharisees on the right”.

The real question is now, Is the pope Catholic?
That is, does he believe in the universality of the Church and does he actually embrace the Sacred Deposit of Faith?
