Infallibility doesn’t apply here. Francis has made no pronouncements from the Chair of St. Peter in union with the Bishops. We have had bad popes in history but they do not affect the Church and the Magisterium. The Medici monsters were not interested in theology but rather in Politics and Power. That is the way of it. His personal opinions, and that is all they are, do not rise above being personal opinions.

AlaskaErik has had the limits of papal infallibility explained to him a billion times.

Don’t waste your pixels.

Is it unreasonable for people to expect the head guy of your religion to ALWAYS speak in accordance with what you are ALL supposed to believe in common? At least in public? How is it that a supposed successor to the Apostle Peter holds personal beliefs contrary to what every Catholic is mandated to believe? I don't see how y'all can hide behind the "infallible only on ex cathedra stuff" when so many are up in arms over the new Pope's "unorthodox" statements.
