Hey I didn’t realize you are from the Cafeteria branch of the Catholic Church, where you get to pick and choose what YOU not the Church believes is right.
Good luck with that when you meet you maker face to face and tell Him you knew better than His Church on earth.

I don’t communicate directly with Rome, although I’m sure you do.
All of my parish priests for the last 68 years have been sinners just like me... There have undoubtedly been some real good ones intermixed with the occasional pedophile.
Excluding ex cathedra, I’ll use my judgment with guidance from the Lord, thank you. Ex Cathedra IS the churche’s position on maters of faith. Everything else is an opinion. And they vary depending on the parish and the priest.
