You create a false dichotomy, as you always have, and as most R&R do, between the "certainty of faith" and everything else being fair game to question.
Pope Benedict XVI:
You're very possibly a heretic, at least temerarious, a giver of scandal, an insulter of the saints, a favorer of heretics, and savoring of heresies, liable to very grave penalties.
You make a mockery of the Church and the Papacy in claiming that what was proclaimed with the following formula is not protected from error:
For the honour of the Blessed Trinity,
the exaltation of the Catholic faith and
the increase of the Christian life,
by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ,
and of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, and our own,
after due deliberation
and frequent prayer for divine assistance,
and having sought the counsel of many of our brother Bishops,
we declare and define
Blessed John XXIII and John Paul II to be Saints
and we enroll them among the Saints,
decreeing that they are to be venerated as such by the whole Church.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
This explicitly hits every single note of infallibility defined at Vatican I.
Oh brother. You are confusing papal authority with papal infallibility again.
First off, this very explicitly does *not* hit *any* note of infallibility
as defined at V1 because canonizations are not a doctrine. Therefore *the dogma* of papal infallibility
as defined at V1 does not apply at all, not even one puny little iota.
Pope Benedict XIV:
"If anyone dared to assert that the Pontiff had erred in this or that canonization, we shall say that he is, if not a heretic, at least temerarious, a giver of scandal to the whole Church, an insulter of the saints, a favorer of those heretics who deny the Church’s authority in canonizing saints, savoring of heresy by giving unbelievers an occasion to mock the faithful, the assertor of an erroneous opinion and liable to very grave penalties." Second, the pope, Benedict XIV, very specifically decrees that the offenders are sinning against the Church's Authority, not the Church's infallibility. What you need to do is to discern the difference between papal authority and papal infallibility so as to stop confusing the matter.
Third, in your haste to maintain a vacant chair by confusing papal authority with papal infallibility, you ignore, or act as if you ignore the fact that the entire beatification and canonization process and procedures have been replaced with the NO version, which means simply that what Pope Benedict XIV is saying does apply to NO canonizations.
