Scolding the Pope, however, is not the road to clarification. Indeed, I suspect that the Pope is trying to downplay doctrinal teaching in favor of pastoral teaching. While Francis technically has a Magisterium, he would never call it that, which I find refreshing. Still, if the Monsignor or the surviving Dubya Cardinals with to be helpful, they should propose the doctrinal changes they think Franics is making rather than asking rude questions. If they want humility, they should humbly try to understand what Francis is saying and why, because Francis is correct and the prior proof texting is worthy of a seminarian in Liberty University Bible Study.
