The expression of my opinions are important to the Church, for it can be at times through the assistance of a layman’s or a combination of movements exhibited by the flock that the Church comes to declare something as binding.

Good point. Before the Church can declare in these sorts of cases, each individual clergy would need to make a private judgment about the matter as well. We have made a private judgment on the matter and have based it on Catholic Church teaching.

And no one is binding opinions here.

You don't see the grave peril in this? And suppose my private judgment told me that Pius X was no true Pope because he completely gutted the Roman Office? Or if my private judgment maintained that Pius XI's Lateran Treaty was in direct violation of Unam Sanctam?
