Actually, no, it doesn’t. People might assume that, but it doesn’t. Again, being important to one man - the Pope - does not mean it is “major dogma of the Catholic Church.”
Sooooo....to be sure we understand......the pope has spoken ex-cathedra, from the chair of peter, we can count these on one hand, this is now official dogma of the catholic church, all have to believe this....and you say: "being important to one man - the Pope - does not mean it is “major dogma of the Catholic Church.”. "
So we can just dismiss these as irrelevant teachings??
I wonder what other catholics have to say about this?
“Sooooo....to be sure we understand......the pope has spoken ex-cathedra, from the chair of peter, we can count these on one hand,”
You can? I think the pope has spoken ex cathedra many times. People - even Catholics - make the mistake of thinking it only happens in infallible statements because that was part of the definition of Papal Infallibility.
“So we can just dismiss these as irrelevant teachings??”
Is that what I said?
“I wonder what other catholics have to say about this?”
I doubt you do. And if you ask you’ll probably forget to include that part where I said you had to compare it to the totality of Catholic teaching to know it’s importance. Facts, they get in the way of Protestant anti-Catholics.
