Hi, I'm Jimmy Akin, and here's 10 things you need to know about Pope Francis' new efforts to cause confusion:
1) He's the pope, therefore he can never commit heresy even when he commits heresy.
2) He's the pope, therefore he's infallible even when he's fallible.
3) Not everything the pope says is doctrinal - especially when he changes doctrine.
4) The pope is not anti-Catholic - even when he spews anti-Catholic nonsense.
5) Nothing the pope says is nonsense - even when he spews nonsense.
6) The pope is not God - even though the pope really is God.
7) The pope is the most humblest person in the world - and he's very proud of that fact.
8) Jesus answers to the pope - even though the pope is Jesus.
9) The pope is not a communist - even though he thinks like them, speaks like them, sympathizes with them, befriends them, and obsessively advances their agenda.
10) The pope can do no wrong. Ever. And I don't just get paid a six figure income to say that. Okay. Maybe I do.......
As opposed to the Church's teaching:
"6. ...or even the Roman Pontiff, prior to his promotion or his elevation as Cardinal or Roman Pontiff, has deviated from the Catholic Faith or fallen into some heresy:
(i) the promotion or elevation, even if it shall have been uncontested and by the unanimous assent of all the Cardinals, shall be null, void and worthless;"
