You haven't been around long enough to know some of his strange perspectives. Stubborn believes that unless the Pope says, "I command you to do [such-and-such] under the pain of sin," then there's no command.
I know with certainty that the pope most assuredly and absolutely, certainly *can* command us to do that which is sinful - reality proves this. When that happens, the highest and most fundamental of all Catholic Principles decides our course of action for us. That principle you wholly and continually reject, is:
"First we are under obedience to God, only then under obedience to man." What I'd like to know is, why?
He also asserts that the Magisterium is absolutely infallible ... but says that Vatican II is not part of the Magisterium.
There was a poster who was banned, Bellator Dei, who posted maybe a dozen or so quotes directly from popes in their encyclicals that taught this exact thing. The Church's magisterium is 100% infallible, 100% of the time.
Just because you maintain and promote the NO definition of what the magisterium is, only demonstrates their efficiency in confusing the term.
