Well, I'm not a catholic myself. However, I am greatly amused that you believe yourself to be a greater authority on catholicism than the pope himself. I wonder what the Catholics on FR think about that?
In fact it's this Pope who considers himself, in that way, the greater authority on such matters even derived from dogma, and those categorically rejected, by every Pope prior to himself and Paul VI. Let's get that straight. If he's the authority on ecumenism, say, he and Paul VI, then that's a pretty damned small church, and one without much of a history at all. On the other hand - he could simply be wrong, about most everything he says from the UN to ecumenism, to his recent rewrite of the Holy Rosary.
