From my understanding of the Magisterium... no. Believe it or not, we don’t believe the Pope is infallible in his every instruction. He can make mistakes, too. He is a man with high responsibility... but he is still just a man. He also has sins to confess. His pronouncements have to be weighed against the totality of Church teachings.

So each Catholic must employ an individual interpretation of Catholic teachings. Resulting, inevitably, in a multitude of different interpretations. In essence, YOPIOC.

I think your take is correct.
A.L. (in part) interrupts the continuity of the magisterium’s teaching and is arguably in error. There are some ill winds blowing through Rome these days and in my opinion much of it originating in Germany.
