but his screaming defiance of JPII places him in excommunication-land.

Denying papal infallibilty, sounds like an excommunication to me.

I beg to differ. The Pope is only infallable when he speaks ex cathedra on matters of faith and morals. Many popes have been in error. St. Athenasius was "excommunicated" while fighting against Arianism. His famous statement was:"They have the Churches, but we have the Faith." How true this is in today's world.

If you are Catholic, then you need to read more about how the Magisterium works. A Pope is not unfallible unless he is speaking on FAITH AND MORALS ONLY. That is the only time he cannot make a mistake in what he says...got it? FAITH AND MORALS.....

And if you're not a Catholic, then I invite you to please SHUT UP about things you know nothing about.

Ad Majorem Dei Glorium!
