In view of the “paradigm shift” said to be taking place during this pontificate, one that critics say breaks with the Church’s teaching and tradition, how should a concerned Catholic respond? Is it legitimate, for example, to resist Church authority, including perhaps even the Pope, and if so, how? Furthermore, we declare, we proclaim, we define that it is absolutely necessary for salvation that every human creature be subject to the Roman Pontiff.

The Pope has them trapped with OTC. It robs Catholic laity of any power they have over the Vatican.
As long as the Catholics insist on ‘being Catholic’ the Pope has no reason to change because he still has total power over them no matter how evil he is. And because of ‘one true church’ and the demonization of Luther and all reformers, he has them trapped.

The good thing about obeying this Pope is that you just wait a couple of days and he will issue a clarification. 😎

“You. Have. No. Choice. But. To. Obey. Your. Pope.”
A) No Christian, Catholic or Protestant, is obliged by God to err.
B) Popes err.
Thus, we are not obliged to obey popes.
Ok, what part of this do you disagree with?
