The Vatican II sect has its share of apologists. They are mostly laymen and ironically spend much time attacking Protestants, even though the Vatican II sect is every bit as Protestant as the sects they attack. Dr. Art Sippo, a physician, is one such Vatican II apologist. He calls Protestants "prots;" and while claiming that the Protestant apologists are "uncharitable," he uses many ad hominem attacks and calls them names. He hasn't blogged in quite some time, but if you go his "Art of Attack" blog (www.art-of-attack.blogspot.com), you will see his last post was against Martin Luther.
The problem with Sippo and his ilk is that they want to be part of the Vatican II sect and yet have the ability to hurl anathemas like in the days pre-Vatican II. These apologists get no support from the Vatican II "bishops" on that account. They do, however, score brownie points for attacking Traditionalists and defending Vatican II at all costs. Dr. Sippo's number one enemy is Dr. James White, a Calvinist apologist who attacks anything/everything non-Calvinist as "apostate" and "not Christian." Sippo once had a debate with White, and like the mature man he is, when things weren't going his way, Sippo stormed out of the debate and never returned.
Dr. White operates his "Alpha and Omega" ministries, aimed at making converts. Interestingly, White posted a video on Youtube in 2008, when it was rumored that Ratzinger would "rehabilitate" and remove the excommunication of his fellow German heretic Martin Luther. (This may still happen by Francis in 2017, the 500 year anniversary of the so-called "reformation"). Dr. White GETS IT!! He openly states that the True Church (i.e. pre-Vatican II) was "theologically consistent" but post-Vatican II, it's in shambles. He challenges Sippo and every member of the sect to compare the popes of the early 19th century (he probably meant to say early 20th century), with the post-Vatican II "popes" and see that you can't reconcile them!! I have posted his video below---- a must see!!
While a Calvinist sees clearly the problem, Art Sippo continues to denigrate the "prots" that his own sect emulates. Why would a member of the Vatican II sect want to attack them anyway? Vatican II's Unitatis Redintegratio, no. 3 states that Protestants "are correctly accepted as brothers by the children of the Catholic Church" and -- note well! -- "have been by no means deprived of significance and importance in the mystery of salvation" because "the Spirit of Christ has not refrained from using [them] as means of salvation which derive their efficacy from the very fullness of grace and truth entrusted to the Church."
Poor Dr. Sippo condemns that which is now embraced! What will Sippo do if/when Luther is extolled by Francis? Stay away from these Vatican II lackeys. Sippo's "medicine" of Vatican II theology is worse than the theological disease of Protestantism he wants to destroy. Indeed, every criticism he makes of Protestant theology can be leveled at Vatican II. So the next time he attacks Dr. White, all White needs to do to refute him is to say, "Physician, heal thyself"!
