Once Bergoglio invokes his infallibility to decree that nothing he or anyone else did was sinful, even the most ardent Roman Catholic apologists will have no choice but to defend him and the gay agenda. Papal infallibility is of course de fide dogma, beyond question.

The RCC is specifically and purposely designed so that the laity have zero power in the church. A lot of Catholics probably don’t even realize that their criticisms of Bergoglio and demands that he resign are in fact violations of Canon Law.

Martin Luther burned the books of Canon Law and never looked back. Strange fact: Pope Leo X who excommunicated Martin Luther was a vile pedophile and homosexual.

Just FYI,

Canon 212 §3. According to the knowledge, competence, and prestige which they possess, they have the right and even at times the duty to manifest to the sacred pastors their opinion on matters which pertain to the good of the Church and to make their opinion known to the rest of the Christian faithful, without prejudice to the integrity of faith and morals, with reverence toward their pastors, and attentive to common advantage and the dignity of persons.

These demands are very much so in accordance with Canon Law.

“Once Bergoglio invokes his infallibility to decree that nothing he or anyone else did was sinful...”
The doctrine of infallibility would not be licit under such an application.

I don't think you have much of an idea of what infallibility actually means. A Pope can't pardon his own failings by invoking "infallibility." Wherever you read that, I'd throw that source in the trash.

Pope Leo X who excommunicated Martin Luther was a vile pedophile and homosexual.

Ironically, it seems that the so-called "evidence" for that claim comes largely from protestant and "gay" sources (surprise, surprise) which took the primary source material and imposed their own fanciful meanings on it.
