If you don't challenge questionable teachings of the Pope outside fallibility

[EamonnMichael]

Are you a true Catholic?

I don’t consider it outside the realms of possibility, when not speaking ex cathedra, that the Holy Father strays into error, if not heresy.*

If so, he ought to be challenged? It is surely our duty to do so?

*Disclaimer: That isn’t to say the Pope himself is heretical and thereby ceases to be Pope.

 

[PaulfromIowa]

What “questionable teachings” are you referring to?

All of us “speak error” at times in our daily conversations. I don’t believe that Francis has ever taught error as a matter of the Church’s teaching authority. The difference between this pope and others is that he talks to reporters often and is remarkably free in his comments.

 

[angel12]

It is surely our duty to do so?

First, it would be our duty to do very deep study to be sure we were right, and even deeper soul-searching to be sure that our motives are pure.
