Father Philip Eldracher
In this episode, Father Philip Eldracher continues the discussion on the Infallibility of the Church. The Infallible Teaching Body of the Church is the Pope, and the Bishops united with him.
Father Eldracher refutes the claim that since "we have had 'bad popes' and 'bad bishops' before," therefore, this situation of Vatican II and its aftermath is something which we can accept and still remain Catholic. This erroneous claim is held by Novus Ordites and those who hold the recognize-and-resist position.
A Complete Catechism of the Catholic Religion by Father Joseph Deharbe, S.J. was originally written in German, was very popular in the 19th century, and was translated into English. Bishop Donald Sanborn finds the Deharbe Catechism to be the most complete to convert and instruct people in the Catholic Faith.
Father Eldracher is currently pastor of Mary Help of Christians chapel and provides the Traditional (Tridentine) Latin Mass to faithful Catholics throughout Australia.
