Interesting!
To what standard will you hold the man?
The same standards that I hold any other man. If He says something "Ex Cathedra" and makes it an official church teaching, I will accept it as such. If he states a personal opinion on something, I will take it as just that. He is from a socialist background and some of his views on capitalism don't jibe with some of mine....oh well.
I will accept his statements on church teachings and interpretation of them as a person highly educated in Catholic doctrine and will weigh them carefully to ascertain exactly what he is teaching....he is a teacher, after all.
We'll see...so far so good but I do pay close attention!!
