  >>...why are these signatories — and the dubia cardinals for that matter — rejecting the clear teaching that not only are popes protected from error in faith and morals (regardless of it being defined infallibly proclaimed or not) but that all acts of the magisterium derive from Christ...<<
  
  With regard to Communion for the divorced and remarried, John Paul II, in Familiaris Consortio, specifically and directly reiterated the constant teaching of the Church that the sacrament could NOT be imparted to such persons.  If we are to believe, as according to faith and reason we should, that JPII's restatement of the Church's age-old teaching was NOT in error and represented an act of the magisterium "derived from Christ," are we now to conclude that Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the magisterium had gotten it wrong for all those centuries -- until Francis came along to correct them by means of an ambiguous footnote he later claimed not to remember?  Please.
