Undignified, Shameful, Completely Wrong." An unappealable condemnation of the relatio on the first week of the synodal works on the family (the Relatio post disceptationem) read yesterday before pope Francis by Hungarian Cardinal Peter Erdo. Who pronounced this...was not just "any" Synodal Father, but the guardian of the orthodoxy of the Catholic Faith, German Cardinal Gerhard Müller, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (the former Holy Office), raised in the past few days to the leading voice of those who, in the Synod, question the announced overtures to remarried divorcees, civil unions, cohabitation, homosexual couples.

Well, okay then. No one said the pope had the power of impeccability.

Completely correct. Nor does he exercise infallibility in his ordinary statements or day to day governance. Many non-Catholics often overstate what the Catholic Church teaches about the pope.
