“”Further note that no place, nowhere, no how, does the Catholic Church identify “infallible” declarations of the Popes””
To my knowledge there is a list of dogma’s(De fide = “Of the faith,”= official dogma), but not a list of some of the others that are given classifications such as...
Sent. = sententia = belief)
Sent. fidei proxima = directly deduced from a dogma; necessary conclusion
Sent. certa = always been held to be true; official doctrine but at a lower level than dogma
Sent. communis = a universally held belief; traditional doctrine
Sent. pia et probabilis = a pious and probable belief; traditional doctrine
Sent. communior = a widely held belief; traditional doctrine
list of dogmas

”Further note that no place, nowhere, no how, does the Catholic Church identify “infallible” declarations of the Popes.”
This list would be sufficient. Thank you.

Thank you for this list of teachings, ranked according to ... what? ... their relative truthiness.
Looking at this list, stfassisi, I simply repeat what I posted earlier today about Rome’s teaching (at whatever level of veracity): “Whatever truth has been left in it to this day is purely because of the grace of God and His unfathomable faithfulness to those believers in His Son who are still entangled in the braided cords of truth and falsehood that make up its deceptive web of teaching”
