Is your signature that which you read and re-read in order to one day hope your personality will one day achieve that detailed discipline when addressing people in discussion forums?Total nonsense. Grace alone and Christ alone was borrowed wholesale from the Catholic Church which continues to teach them.
Anathema does not mean cursed, it follows St. Paul's example which means cut off. Misrepresenting the Council of Trent is classic radical reformism. Vatican II reformulated the CofT which you know nothing about, and the Church hasn't used the word "anathema" for 200 years. You are locked into 16th century argumentation, avoid recent encyclicals because you can't handle the needed development and refuse to grow up.
Excerpted Source: Catholic Encyclopedia ~ Council of Trent
"....The Ecumenical Council of Trent has proved to be of the greatest importance for the development of the inner life of the Church. No council has ever had to accomplish its task under more serious difficulties, none has had so many questions of the greatest importance to decide. The assembly proved to the world that notwithstanding repeated apostasy in church life there still existed in it an abundance of religious force and of loyal championship of the unchanging principles of Christianity. Although unfortunately the council, through no fault of the fathers assembled, was not able to heal the religious differences of western Europe, yet the infallible Divine truth was clearly proclaimed in opposition to the false doctrines of the day, and in this way a firm foundation was laid for the overthrow of heresy and the carrying out of genuine internal reform in the Church." [end excerpt]
The Councils of Trent and Vatican II are still in effect today.That one factor highlighted in red, is that factor that makes what the “infallible” councils of Bishops of the Council of Trent pronounced as anathemas immutable.
Immutable definition, not mutable; unchangeable; changeless. See more.
Edit to add, Council of Trent.
