It comes down to only one theologian on earth. Everything else is an opinion among many.

I switched to the new artificial theologians, less fat, cholesterol, and sugar.

Any liberal who reads a pamphlet on the rosary they found in a puddle is a "real" theologian. They exist, are not imaginary and have studied some theology. When you preface a authority with the word "real" it loses meaning.

I would rather use my discernment.
