Do you not think it reasonable that in the sheer volume of words which he has written and uttered (but more dangerously had written for him), that he would make some mistakes?

Well congratulations. You've proffered an entirely original justification to doubt the pope's orthodoxy. Volume.

Would you question St. Augustine's orthodoxy? No? - and yet he wrote a volume entitled "Retractions".

Just because people write and say some heretical things, it does not make them formal heretics.

I'm sure Tantumergo would be glad to admit that it's not entirely original. Many article have been written on the fact that JPII has buried the faithful under a mountain of paper. But somehow this continual churning of forests to print more documents never seems to come up with one that will stop the continuous slide into destruction -- and even worse -- irrelevancy. Even JPII is now realizing that the Catholic Church has made itself entirely irrelevant (i.e. his recent comments on the EU).
