Bishop John Nienstedt of the Diocese of New Ulm refutes heterdoxy

There is a blog link here to an article about Bishop Nienstedt.

The link to the Bishop's statement which clarifies the teachings of the Church is here. The Bishop apparently needed to do this because of the manifest heterdoxy contained in a booked titled " Revelation and the Church: Vatican II in the Twenty-first Century", co-edited by his predecessor, Bishop Raymond A. Lucker, who was the shepherd of the diocese for nearly 25 years.

A particularly poignant quote from Bishop Nienstedt's article:
Dissent from this authoritative teaching as expressed by the Council places one theologically in opposition to the Church and spiritually in peril of losing eternal life. Catholics have a right to know that the Church is a sure guide for their salvation.
