Vatican II ABOUT FACE! - Chiesa viva

The light on this comes from Vatican I, a true Ecumenical
and Dogmatic Council, in “De Unica Christi Ecclesia”
[of the one Church of Christ], where it says:
178
«Catholics themselves must, nevertheless, profess
to belong, as a merciful gift from God, to
the Church, the only Church founded by Christ
and led by the successors of Peter and of the
other Apostles, where the original apostolic tradition
still persists, intact and alive, which is the
everlasting heritage of truth and holiness of the
Church. Therefore, it is not permitted to the
faithful to imagine the Church of Christ as a
differentiated whole and in some manner unified
part of the churches and ecclesiastical communities;
nor do they have the authority to
maintain that the Church of Christ must only
be an object to pursue on the part of all the
churches and communities.”
This is the doctrine formally defined by Vatican I in the
Dogmatic Constitution “Pastor Aeternum” of July 18,
1870, IV Session, in which there was the mark of the Gospel
texts of Matthew (16, 13-20), Luke (22, 31ss), John (1, 35-42;
21, 15-20), the “Acts of the Apostles” (first 12 chapters), in
which St. Peter, the undisputed head of the Council of
Jerusalem, pronounced the first formal dogmatic definition:
“We have decided, We and the Holy Spirit ...” (c. 15).
But here, in Vatican II, the doctrinal Commission, composed
primarily of neo-modernists and liberals, substituted
the dogmatic “est” with the arbitrary “subsistit”, in “Lumen
Gentium,” putting in doubt the absolute identification
