YOU:
***The pope, when speaking ex cathedra is guided by the Holy spirit, he doesnt need to have that interpreted, unless you doubt the Holy Spirit.***
Huh. You mean I’m guided by the Holy Spirit more than the Pope. Oh, well, I guess part time guidance is better than none.
BTW, your logic doesn’t follow (if it has not already been pointed out): John, in writing his Gospel, was guided by the Holy Spirit.
Should I, then,...
a). conclude that John doesn’t need interpretation using your logic, making the Pope irrelevant.
b). conclude that the Pope needs interpretation opening up every Catholic to the charge they make against Protestants: Every Catholic his own pope.
You make the call, but it doesn’t look good if you look to the Pope.
ME: again, note, when the pope speaks AS THE SUPREME TEACHING AUTHORITY OF THE CHURCH on maters of faith or morals, he has the God given charism of infallibility from the Holy Spirit, not in everyday conversation or privately held opinions.
We are not talking about you, or St John either, we are talking about the historically established papacy from peter to benedict.
I heard you the first time. ;^)
