## It is not heretical or erroneous to believe in or discuss or forward the Q-hypothesis. It is not forbidden to do so. If the Pope thinks it is, then he is doing a lousy job - if it is so wrong, he should make unmistakably clear that it is. Which he has so far signally failed to do.
Discussing whether Jesus knew He was divine, is not the same as denying that He was, nor that He knew was. One might as well find fault with St. Thomas Aquinas for asking “whether there is a God?” An honest and competent discussion will always mention views other than those to which one is committed oneself: and such views may be well-founded, or they may not. Any talk can cause, or provoke, or stimulate doubt - so much depends upon the hearer.
A careless priest would not bother to inform the Catholics under his care that there are plenty of ideas other than those current within the CC - so you could look at the matter that way.
Somebody aware of difficulties and varieties of opinion, is more likely to avoid getting a nasty shock upon realising that other people, whatever their own faith or lack of it, don’t agree in all respects (surprise, surprise) with what one has been used to hearing, than someone who has been cocooned from all surprises. IOW, uninformed dogmatism is not a good preparation for life, whatever one’s theology. People do exist who are not carbon copies of ourselves, and so, they can’t be expected to agree with us. As this board shows
So it sounds as if your priest is doing just as a priest ought to do. You’re the one who can ask him to explain anything you’re bothered about - we can’t
