But...I've been repeatedly assured that the Pope is inerrant on doctrine. If he's divinely infallible in that regard, then it's not that he doesn't have the power (as in he's not _allowed_ to), it's that he's metaphysically _incapable_ of doing so.
If the Pope is inerrant/infallible on doctrine, then what's the problem?
Only infallible when speaking from the throne of Peter. “Ex Cathedra”, on certain areas of Church doctrine.
His Marxist leanings and pronouncements are NOT “Ex Cathedra,” but his personal opinions.
Non-Catholics will be excused for not knowing this, since , sadly, many Catholics don’t know it either...
