Somebody remembered! (snif) I'm getting a little teary.

As the infomercials say: But Wait! There's More!

892 Divine assistance is also given to the successors of the apostles, teaching in communion with the successor of Peter, and, in a particular way, to the bishop of Rome, pastor of the whole Church, when, without arriving at an infallible definition and without pronouncing in a "definitive manner," they propose in the exercise of the ordinary Magisterium a teaching that leads to better understanding of Revelation in matters of faith and morals. To this ordinary teaching the faithful "are to adhere to it with religious assent"422 which, though distinct from the assent of faith, is nonetheless an extension of it.
422 LG 25.

Oh, crud! Even if I don't like it, I have to assent to it? Oh, man!!!

How come nobody ever consults me on this stuff?
