Oh my. The traditional understanding is that scripture, tradition (the magisterium), and reason are all valid guides, but that each has known limitations so that all three should be consulted. They cross check each other. In the normal run of things, all three should be consistent. The interesting and difficult questions arise when there is an apparent conflict.

Francis has thrown out the checks and balances. He is guided solely by the whisperings of his own mind. This works if one is divinely inspired. I do not think Francis is divinely inspired.
