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.


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

It's really only technically possible that he could.

Because God has more authority than the Pope and things of Dogma are unchangeable. At-least in the things he brought up the only thing he would have the power to "change" would be birth control. But Humane Vitae has closed that discussion in the Church.

It's pointless to discuss "changes" in Church doctrine when it is unlikely well almost impossible that it will happen.
