Lol! "because it doesn't exist"... You said it yourself... As a Catholic I am not bound to assent to Magisterium that doesn't exist. Thanks! God bless!
I just reread everything in our conversation. I never "dodged" your questions. I answered them. I just answered them in a way that didn't fit your misconception on the authority of the Pope, and you referred to it as a "loophole" because you are anti-Catholic and frankly just want to argue instead of listen. Again, yes we can disagree with the Pope if he publicly tells the Jewish Mainstream Media his "politically correct" opinions on things. Moreover, if he misrepresents the Faith (and the current Pope has done this multiple times, unfortunately) we can publicly rebuke him for doing that as well, and of course, disobey following him in his error. What we as Catholics CANNOT do is disobey the Pope when he officially teaches a matter of Faith and morals that is CONSISTENT with known Catholic teaching.
But who determines consistency? Therein lies even more wiggle room when consistency with pre-established Scripture is not a requirement for the teaching of a Pope to be infallible.
If a man has proven himself to misrepresent the faith, what authority is given to him?
No I can't because it doesn't exist, that doesn't negate any of the points I made or provide any direct answers to the questions I just asked

Lol indeed, way to dodge everything else
