All that you argue could be accepted, but for the fact that the Holy Father need only call his secretary to take dictation on drafting, finalizing and issuing, an ex cathedra encyclical on appropriate music for Holy Mass.

That non-Catholics pretending to represent Holy Mother Church in the United States and elsewhere are refusing to abide by the direction of the Vicar of Christ says volumes about the stupidity of reducing the authority of the pope to that of equality with all other bishops of the Church.

Vatican II is looming larger than the standing of this lowly bishop of Rome. Time to toss this baby with the bathwater.

What does this mean? What specifically do you mean by "toss", and what specifically do you mean by "this baby"?
