I am bored with these almost-daily contretemps. The Pope should not be preaching daily, or else his daily homilies should not be recorded and reported. He should not be giving interviews. Popes should speak primarily through Magisterial documents, and prepared, vetted texts—e.g., the Wednesday audiences.

Since when does any layperson get to tell a pope what he should or should not do? Whose vicar is he supposed to be?

1) I’m not a layman.

2) A layman may think or say anything he likes about the Pope and the Pope’s pronouncements anytime the Pope is not speaking ex cathedra on dogma or morals.

Lay person? The Pope has no authority that I do not have in Christ. The Pope is not more important to God than any other person. I find your comment disturbing because if many people actually think your way there will be a lot of blind people being led by the blind.
