Dear ultima ratio,

You are asking whether the pope always does what is right, not whether his teaching is without error.

Or whether you are required to obey him when he instructs you not to assist at SSPX Masses.

Common confusion for non-Catholics.

A cop out. Funny how careful you are with distinctions when it suits you. But you are blind to distinctions where anyone else is concerned. For example, in distinguishing when disobedience is not only permitted, but required--to avoid doing evil--as in doing further harm to an already badly damaged Church suffering under the relentless assaults of the Pope's best buddies. Such distinctions becloud your mind and leave you mumbling.
