Anthony Stine, PhD @pontificatormax...I wish people [like Eric Sammons] would address his argument instead of engaging in detraction of this kind. My only question is this: does the priest have the authority to do this?

Sad to see Fr. Altman go down the sedevacantist path. He's responsible for his actions, of course, but I also blame his bishop for essentially kicking him to the curb for political reasons.

Does a priest--or anyone--need to possess a certain "authority" in order to perceive reality and comment upon it? Eric Sammons is willing to engage in rank intellectual dishonesty; Father Altman is not. Anthony Stine is a devoted Catholic and balanced podcaster who needs to stop asking everybody else what they think, and to start drawing some (admittedly) uncomfortable conclusions on his own.

The notion that only members of the hierarchy are allowed to excercise the faculties of intellect and will given to them by God is a cult-like--not Catholic--conviction. During the time of the Arian crisis, should lay people have restricted themselves to a studied neutrality about the subject of Christ's divinity, until the crisis was over? No! Lay people cannot declare doctrine or remove an antipope, but they don't have to pretend not to know what they do know, in the meanwhile.

It is deeply disturbing that people seem ready to pit rationality against the Faith, as though being a good Catholic means being prepared to blind yourself to observation and reflection. This goes completely against the essence of Catholicism, not to mention contradicting the witness of countless saints and converts who have studied the Faith, or studied themselves into it.

Where will it end? If the "Synod" declares what we think it might, will podcasters tell us we have no right to an opinion on such matters, either?

Spot on commentary Justina!
It’s a good thing that St. Catherine knew the faith!
Bishop Fulton Sheen said that the LAITY will save the Church.
Catholics have a DUTY to proclaim the truth and call out the hierarchy to DO THEIR JOB and uphold the unchanging Truths of the Faith!

Why is Sammons the pharisee blaming fr. Altman?
Why is Sammons the pharisee blaming even his bishop?

Why is Sammons the pharisee not blaming his Bergoglio-seems-to-be-a-pope-because-he-seems-to-be-universally-accepted-whatever-that-might-have-to-mean?
