Confirmation of what I have always believed, that the Catholic doctrine of the papacy and papal infallibility is irrelevant in modern times. Disagree with the Pope? No problem, just label him a bad Pope. Every Catholic his own Pope I guess.

There have been lots of bad popes. The doctrine of papal infallibility has always been severely limited.

Good Catholics have disagreed with the pope for many reasons over millennia.

Yeah, I get it. He didn’t say “Simon Says” so the statement (and the man) can be ignored, ridiculed, mocked, whatever. My point is that the papacy has become functionally irrelevant.
