RE: Well...if IL PAPA says so, it MUST be true. ex cathedra and all that bul.
IL PAPA was not speaking ex-cathedra on this issue.
The book is not an ex-cathedra pronouncement. This Pope is more inclined to make statements and books outside of his capacity as Pope than PJPII, for example. It is not bad, but it does confuse the media and people like you.
Hey Cletus.
“ex cathedra” doesn’t mean everything a pope says is believed to be infallible.
Actually it has only been invoked very few times in history.
Less than 1% of 1% of everything pope’s have said is covered by the doctrine.
So if you’re going to go around saying catholics think everything pope’s say is infallible, know that you are saying something very far from the truth.
I don’t agree with the doctrine, I am not a roman catholic, but it’s really tired seeing this kind of smear still tossed around.
