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



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.

Wasn't "Humane Vitae" written by a pope? And the whole be fruitful and multiply came from Genesis which I have been told by poli board religious scholars, should not be taken literally. Odd that that one sentence is observed so strictly.
