As far as Vatican I is concerned, I agree with Melkite Catholic Archbishop Zoghby who said:

". . . Vatican I has the same designation as the Council of Lyons, a 'general' synod of the West. With this designation it is neither ecumenical nor infallible and could produce only theological opinions that can not be imposed on anyone" [Archbishop Elias Zoghby, Ecumenical Reflections].

Christ is Born!! Glorify Him!!

It's been 12 days; 151 replies; and a host of replies from both sides of the issue--actually three, the Latin, the Eastern Catholic, and the Orthodox. Lots of bandwidth; lots of heat; lots of skating close to uncharity. The topic is pretty well exhausted, has been tossed around multiple times in this forum, and always results in similar posts.

I hope that this has been a good read for you. I hope that it has answered your initial question. I hope that you, like me, have had enough for awhile.

In the spirit of the Feast that some of us are celebrating and that others are preparing for, I'm closing this thread so we can get on with the REAL business of the season: contemplating what the short summary of the Feast is about. God became man in order that man might become like God: more charitable, more humble, more deferring to one another in love, more willing not to have the last word, more willing to build up rather than tear down, more willing to speak the truth in love.

Forgive me for having the last word,

Bob
