In fact, it is always necessary to rebuild Christianity on<br />
Faith and Tradition, obviously with texts of secure, unambiguous,<br />
undoubting faith, not an uncertain or contradictory<br />
one.<br />
This is the problem that <strong>Vatican</strong> <strong>II</strong> poses for theologians.<br />
For instance, consider “Gaudium et Spes” and “Libertà Religiosa,”<br />
which have extremely evident internal contradictions.<br />
This was done by Modernism, which, after having struck<br />
a blow to the unity of the Faith, is now doing it to the unity of<br />
the Government, suffocating the ecclesial structure.<br />
The new doctrine of “Collegiality,” suggested in “Lumen<br />
Gentium” and then, revived in the “New Canonical<br />
Spirit,” is precisely the doctrine on dual “power,” that had<br />
been condemned as a Jansenist error and condemned by the<br />
Bull “Auctorem Fidei” of Pius VI 3 and also by the encyclical<br />
“Satis Cognitum” of Leo X<strong>II</strong>I 4.<br />
It is necessary to remember, therefore, what the Council<br />
Fathers of <strong>Vatican</strong> I had declared:<br />
186<br />
«We, on behalf of the defense, the preservation<br />
and the growth of Catholicism, judge it necessary<br />
to propose that, in conformity with the ancient<br />
and steadfast faith of the Universal<br />
Church, all the faithful believe and hold the<br />
doctrine of the holy Apostolic Primacy, on<br />
which the vigor and solidarity of the entire<br />
Church rests and judge it necessary to prohibit<br />
and condemn human errors, so harmful to the<br />
sheepfold of God.»<br />
The institution of the Primacy in the person of St. Peter,<br />
in <strong>Vatican</strong> I, is also more than clear:<br />
