There is one inconvenient truth I invite to contemplate, and then explain to me in terms of the position you have taken. Over and over and over again in the history of doctrinal development, we have the phenomenon of theologians being condemned in one age, and the recognized as prophetic in the next. Even the great Aquinas was censored in this time. 

There is even a famous moment in our history in which the majority of bishops meeting in council adopted a position on iconoclasm which was not accepted by the people as well as theologians, only to have the opposite position confirmed at a later council. And it is this latter position that became Orthodoxy. 

Tridentinus, I honestly would that the operation of the Spirit in the Church were as simple as you postulate. I would like to invite you to join me for a drink 200 years for now in the hereafter to discuss this list of Flannery proposition. If 51% have become orthodoxy, you buy; otherwise I get the pleasure of paying for your drink.
