Unlike you, most of us ordinary orthodox Catholics look to orthodox theologians to teach us and resolve questions.

I, and I would hope all Catholics, consider Pope John Paul 2 an orthodox theologian

I consider the Encyclical Evangelical Vitae both taught and resolved questions. But, I see I am in a minority here. Again, if the Pope, a Theologian with Supreme Power can't convince you, why would a theologian with absolutely no authority convince you? (still less me)

That really makes no sense (and yet I sense I have somehow begged a question)
