“Well, there certainly are a couple of Pollyannas about this Pope here at FR. I’m going to try to tune them out rather than losing my temper at them!”

I am Catholic, but not a Pollyanna about this pope.

I would ask only that people don’t say he’s worse than he is, or that his heresies and errors are part of Catholic teaching.

You opened the can of worms. He has defined Catholic teaching.

For the record I think protestants are just as far off course as Roman Catholics. We all need repenting............

“Papal infallibility is a dogma of the Catholic Church that states that, in virtue of the promise of Jesus to Peter, the Pope is preserved from the possibility of error “When, in the exercise of his office as shepherd and teacher of all Christians, in virtue of his supreme apostolic authority, he defines a doctrine concerning faith or morals to be held by the whole Church.”[1][2]”
