“I wouldn’t be lying to other people and calling myself Catholic.
I also wouldn’t be saying that I believed that the pope was the head of the Church. They don’t not really, because they aren’t willing to accept his authority.”
Would you be saying St. Paul was not Catholic? He did not accept the authority of St. Peter’s backsliding into Judaizing. There are many other saints throughout history who denied their pope’s authority to err. Were these saints not Catholic?

Are you arguing *against* papal infalliability? This isn’t helping your case.
Papal Infalliability is Vatican I. It seems to me what Fellay is saying is that NONE of the councils are core doctrine to the Catholic Faith. This is bad. All of the councils are core doctrine.
This means that stuff like the Immaculate conception, Papal Infalliability, the divine nature of Christ, etc, none of it is a requirement for Catholics to believe.
Papal Infalliability explicitly states the circumstances in which the Pope is infalliable in faith and morals.
