Whatever has been taught by the Catholic Church since the time of Christ, either through "solemn" pronouncements of Councils or Popes, or by unanimous "ordinary" every day teaching, MUST be believed by all Catholics, per what Our Lord said in Scripture and what the first Vatican Council confirmed. Refusing to do so is called "heresy" and places one outside of the Catholic Church.

Too bad Kasper, Marx, Maradiaga and Francis don't understand the heresy they are promoting.

Am committed to the Church, but am also critical of the Church - and see this as my duty as a Catholic and as a Christian. People were put to death by the Church hierarchy (i.e. Giordano Bruno and others) for voicing their beliefs (including astronomically proven truths) and IMHO there is absolutely no question that the Earthly Church, run by fallible human beings, is fallible.

Dogma is often not true, and is sometimes the enemy of truth. God doesn't make mistakes. All of the rest of us do, including the Church hierarchy.
