Not all of his opinions are retarded, I'm trying to maintain optimism. He seems likely to keep homosexuality and female clergy out of the Church.

What reforms do you think invalidate the Church's position?

That's absolutely the historic Christian understanding. Has been for more than a millennia. They worship God the same way Arians did - they are thinking of the right God, they just have a completely retarded understanding of Him.
Read St. John of Damascus, he calls Islam "the heresy of the Ishmaelites" in the 700s AD - St. Thomas Aquinas takes a similar perspective. Islam, like modern Judaism or Arianism, is a Christian heresy.

I think they were just trying to find common ground to start the process of correcting them, the same way I might tell a unitarian, "hey, we believe in the same New Testament" to start a conversation that leads to me teaching them the Trinity. Maybe not a perfect approach, but not heresy.
I think the modern understanding of extra ecclesium nulla salus is the closest V2 gets to heresy but I've read enough older declarations and letters that I'm comfortable with the language they use. If you want to attack V2, though, that would probably be a more debatable point :)

Failure to be prudent isn't heresy, is sort of my point. The Councils speak truth, but sometimes it's the wrong time or manner to share that truth. Do you have a denomination/sedevacantist position?

The Orthodox have some similar issues. Truths expressed at the wrong time in the wrong way. A lot of them resent that some of the assertions in Jerusalem 1672 were made even though they think they're true. If Vatican 2 was just a "bad idea with bad outcomes, but no falsehoods" (like how many Eastern Catholics view the Church's actions in 1054) that isn't heresy, it is just imprudent. You could probably make similar claims for the Councils of Ephesus, Chalcedon and Florence, re: the behavior and language used caused issues which damaged the Church. But that doesn't make them heresy or the bishops heretics.

I think some of the language and terms used in the decrees were very western which scandalized some people, that's my impression of it.
But mostly it's Decree 16 and the assertion that infants are damned if unbaptized. Most EO don't seem to literally believe this, and say (fairly) that there's nuance and that Decree 16 can be addressed by a broader understanding, but that the claim probably shouldn't have been made so strongly.
It was an effort to encourage people to baptize their infants, which is very noble, but the way it was worded causes some scandal, so I used it as an example. No ill intent meant, just an example of how a Synod/Council can speak truth in a way that isn't perfectly prudent.

Tfw protestants think they can buddy up with the Orthodox by insulting how much Catholics love Mary and they get hit with the "Most Holy Theotokos" stick. Every time

I cant stand them. No ability to have a regular conversation. I'll say, "why are miracles like the resurrection of Christ held to a higher standard for evidence?" and they'll jump into this esoteric "well you have to include Hume's paradigm of incredulity when parsing the import of the alleged violation of nomic laws in a Bayesian probability context" shit.
Like nigga just use regular words what the fuck is wrong with you

13th amendment was ratified in 1865 and for 60 years the courts maintained it didn't apply to Indians. Don't listen to retards who tell you birthright citizenship is a constitutional mandate.

You can't really discount miracles without a reason, the logic is circular. We don't believe in historical claims in miracles because we don't have evidence for miracles. We don't have evidence for miracles because we dismiss claims of miracles out of hand. They should be held to the same standard as any other historical claim.
Most historical events of importance are documented in multiple sources that have certain conflicting details, but if they agree on certain claims, those claims have weight.

The historical claims for Jesus Christ's resurrection are extraordinarily compelling. History, as a discipline, doesn't prove facts, but it weighs the probability of claims and theories against each other. Modern scholastics have been doing an increasingly good job placing the historical claims of Christianity in their 1st century jewish context, allowing for very compelling arguments regarding, for example, the criterion of embarrassment.
Despite what philosophers like Hume assert, miracles aren't something we can dismiss out of hand. If you view the miracle of the resurrection like any other historical claim, there are few arguments against it and many coherent arguments for it. From a historiographical perspective, the gospels should probably be taken just as seriously as any other biography in their genre (e.g., Agricola by Tacitus). Textual criticism heavily supports this conclusion.
