Again, I say, it is absurd to say that I, as a Catholic, must agree with everything the Pope says.

We are not talking about an off-handed papal comment like, "Would you hand me that glass of water?" (when in fact the glass is full of soda). We are talking about a papal teaching that is in the Catechism. Please explain why it is "absurd" to say that you, as a Catholic, should agree with everything the [Pope & Catechism] teaches. Do you think Catholics can just pick and choose for themselves (outside of the infallible dogmas) which Catholic teachings in the Catechism do and do not belong to the "authentic magiseterium"?

Ok, stop beating around the bush. If you think I'm in error on specific issues, then just say so and correct me!
