I'd have to remember that I'm neither a theologian nor a pastor, and that I should study more and be humbler rather than condemn the Pope out of turn.

Sounds like you are saying that the Pope is always right even when he "writes something odd".

Let me ask you this: is it ever appropriate to question a Pope? If so, who would be the appropriate individual to question him?

There is a difference between asking someone to clarify a statement and declaring them a deposed apostate.

The faithful have the right to ask for clarifications and do so frequently.

If so, who would be the appropriate individual to question him?

The best candidate would be his confessor.
