You need to correct that to state liberal Catholics - not all Catholics.

It's straight from Il Papa his own self.. does not his infallible robed-ness speak for the whole club?

It’s straight from Il Papa his own self.. does not his infallible robed-ness speak for the whole club?

yes, the best and brightest show up on these religious threads...

I hope you are not as ignorant as you pretend.

The Pope’s infallibility has nothing to do with his opinions.

"It's straight from Il Papa his own self.. does not his infallible robed-ness speak for the whole club?"

In a word, no.

None of this encyclical is , or even claims to be,m infallible.

On the subject of his own competence to offer solutions, the encyclical says: " On many concrete questions, the Church has no reason to offer a definitive opinion; she knows that honest debate must be encouraged among experts, while respecting divergent views." (Para. 61)

Wouldn't that be refreshing!!
