Actually, In asking the Grand Chancellor to resign, the ex-Grand Master was ACTIVELY DISOBEYING the Holy Father. Your argument is utterly inane, and deserves contempt.

What is particularly fascinating is that the alleged ultra-"orthodox", ultra-montane posters here are anything but. They reveal themselves to be blindly loyal to Burke, not the Holy Father; slaves to ideology rather than set free by faith.

I quote for you, Trid, from Lumen Gentium (22) "But the college or body of bishops has no authority unless it is understood together with the Roman Pontiff, the successor of Peter as its head. The pope's power of primacy over all, both pastors and faithful, remains whole and intact. In virtue of his office, that is as Vicar of Christ and pastor of the whole Church, the Roman Pontiff has full, supreme and universal power over the Church. And he is always free to exercise this power."

Now that you don't like the pontiff, you sample the cafeteria! How ... hypocritical?
