He’s your Pope, you are not in obedience, therefore you are at a minimum schismatic if not heretic. No Pope has any authority over me real or imagined. He does over you, however you may try to weasel out of the appearance of rebellion.

If he’s not Catholic, he can’t be a pope.

You are incorrigibly foolish. The Pope’s spontaneous statements and sometimes whacky utterances do not make for Catholic doctrine or theology any more than the Rev. Al Sharpton speaks for Protestants.

Catholic beliefs are found in the Credo and in the Catholic Catechism.
Your statement that no “Pope has authority over me” is partially true. However, when the Pope speaks ex cathedra, his formal pronouncement of Catholic teachings and taken in conjunction with the Bishops and the College of Cardinals, he speaks on behalf of the Church founded by Christ. The one and only true Church.

The rest is pure fluff of the Joel Osteen or Rev. Graham variety where authoritative scriptural interpretation cannot be found and instead dissipates in the effluvia of the David Koresh’s, Jim Jones’ of this world and every other corner street nutball Protestant pastor.

Those words have an actual meaning. A "schismatic" is someone who denies communion with the Roman Pontiff or those in communion with him. A "heretic" is a baptized person who obstinately denies a revealed truth of the faith.

Pretty sure ebb is innocent on both counts.
