that's silly. Vatican "councils" became fashionable at some point but they wield no inherent authority.

kinda seems like this "pope" guy is just pretending to know the mind and will of God, when in reality he's just some bureaucrat who probably isn't even a Real Liberal Arts Scholar like ratzinger was

very sus indeed

I think a lot of that is projection. Nowhere does he claim to know the mind of God. The pope's ex cathedra statements are a human act of teaching that is free from error.

Treating the pope as a bureaucrat is exactly right. The 2 prior infallible statements were rubber stamps on long held doctrine.

A pope hasn't made an ex cathedra statement since the 50s

it seems that the concept of "infallibility" implies that the pope (somehow) knows the mind and will of God, or that God is somehow acting through him, even if he's not consciously aware of it, etc

but if popes don't even do that anymore then lol i guess everyone is on the same page that it's fake

American Pope should just go buckwild and start issuing ex cathedra proclamations like TRUMP tweets. Hey Jealousy as top 90s song; one headlight lovers to be brought back into flock; "Glycerine" cause not only for excommunication, but execution as heresy.

That the Roman church was founded by God alone.

That the Roman pontiff alone can with right be called universal.

That he alone can depose or reinstate bishops.

That, in a council his legate, even if a lower grade, is above all bishops, and can pass sentence of deposition against them.

That the pope may depose the absent.

That, among other things, we ought not to remain in the same house with those excommunicated by him.

That for him alone is it lawful, according to the needs of the time, to make new laws, to assemble together new congregations, to make an abbey of a canonry; and, on the other hand, to divide a rich bishopric and unite the poor ones.

That he alone may use the imperial insignia.

That of the pope alone all princes shall kiss the feet.

That his name alone shall be spoken in the churches.

That this is the only name in the world.

That it may be permitted to him to depose emperors.

That he may be permitted to transfer bishops if need be.

That he has power to ordain a clerk of any church he may wish.

That he who is ordained by him may preside over another church, but may not hold a subordinate position; and that such a one may not receive a higher grade from any bishop.

That no synod shall be called a general one without his order.

That no chapter and no book shall be considered canonical without his authority.

That a sentence passed by him may be retracted by no one; and that he himself, alone of all, may retract it.

That he himself may be judged by no one.

That no one shall dare to condemn one who appeals to the apostolic chair.

That to the latter should be referred the more important cases of every church.

That the Roman church has never erred; nor will it err to all eternity, the Scripture bearing witness.

That the Roman pontiff, if he have been canonically ordained, is undoubtedly made a saint by the merits of St. Peter; St. Ennodius, bishop of Pavia, bearing witness, and many holy fathers agreeing with him. As is contained in the decrees of St. Symmachus the pope.

That, by his command and consent, it may be lawful for subordinates to bring accusations.

That he may depose and reinstate bishops without assembling a synod.

That he who is not at peace with the Roman church shall not be considered catholic.

That he may absolve subjects from their fealty to wicked men.
