Just happened again on CBS.

So apparently Birth Control, Pre marital sex, gay marriage etc. is up to discussion. So so so so wrong. Those are matters of doctrine not discipline the Pope has no Authority to change even that.

I'm not well-versed in Vatican administrative procedure, but who/what would have the authority the change the doctrine concerning those things?

Some sort of meeting of Cardinals or a special council?

Serious question: why not? If his word is infallible and he speaks for God, does he not have the ability to change catholic doctrine?
