Funny I think Catholics are schismatics who are trying to get the Bishop of Rome more power than he actually has.Me? The one who quotes smarter people than himself. They, in turn, note that in many places, Francis coincides with modernist tendencies, another heresy that has become popular among the more liberal members of the Church. What's more, his barely concealed hostility to Church tradition is plain to see.
He would not be surprised if Francis's people actively collaborate with the CIA on Catholic traditionalists.
On the other hand, from my point of view. Whoever is not a Catholic is a heretic.* Simply put. Without any pretense and nice words intended to cover this fact.
*I am only referring to other Christians who are not part of the church. Pagans are pagans.
You have basically made the doctrine useless.Say you don't understand the dogma of infallibility without saying so.
If he said that, then the dogma of infallibility does not apply, for that dogma applies only when he is preaching ex cathedra, quoting Christ to resolve some matter concerning matters of faith. That is, to put it simply, he is infallible if and only if he speaks like Christ. That is, the dogma of infallibility.
If he adds something from himself, it is no longer infallibility but his opinion. Whereas if using it, he says heresy. Well, I don't think I need to say what this means?
That's why, Popes rarely invoke it. And no, the Pope can't when he wants to. If that were the case, Francis would have used it all the time long ago to push through what he wants.
Who decides if a statement from the Pope is infallible or not? You? You get to decide whether something is ex cathedra? You are basically a protestant at this point who doesn't want to call himself that.
