“If you decide those who don’t match your beliefs personally are outside the Catholic church, you’re outside the Catholic church.”

OK, he’s the Pope, so it’s a little different when he says something like that. After all, he’s the one who is supposed to establish doctrine. But it’s still a little problematic given he’s not establishing doctrine, but teaching about attitudes.

See, this is where I have problems with Pope Francis. His pronouncements always seem to need to be clarified or explained. What if my beliefs are completely aligned with the magisterium? There’s little wiggle room for interpretation there.
