Meaning that you have determined that the Pope and the entire Magisterium are embracing heresy, albeit unknowingly.
No. It means that you apparently can't tell the difference between a material heretic and a formal heretic.
I refer you back to post 134.

In traditional Catholic theology, the term material heresy refers to an opinion that is objectively contradictory to the teachings of the Church, and as such heretical, but which is uttered by a person without the subjective knowledge of its being so. A person who holds a material heresy may therefore not be a "heretic" in the strict sense. Material heresy is distinguished from "formal heresy", i.e. a heretic opinion proposed deliberately by a person who is aware of its being against the doctrine of the Church.

Appears to support my statement.
