You desire to seperate out an argue the specifics within an Encyclical and I am arguing Principle. One cannot be Catholic and oppose the authority of the Pope nor can one oppose an Encyclical. You and Scalia and Sinkspur can oppose Encyclicals and The Catechism, but look at who you are sididng with vs. the constant understanding of the Magisterium as taught by Pope Leo 13th (cited in an earlier post)and this current Pope

Catechism #892 "Divine assistance is also given...when...they propose in the exercise of the ordinary Magisterium (surely Encyclcials and the Universal Catechism apply here) a teaching that leads to better understanding of Revelation in matters of faith and morals. To this ordinary teaching the faithful "are to adhere to it with religious assent" whoch, though distince from the assent of faith, is nonetheless as extension of it."
