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.

Where does it say that the Holy Spirit only resides in one man?

Oh, that’s so funny.

So the Pope is capable of speaking in an infallibly perspiquous way...

...but...

...God isn’t!

***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.
