    So is the pope speaking for/to God or not? Fucking Religions can’t even be consistent within their own made up framework.

      If he’s standing it’s his own words.

      If he’s sitting on his “throne” then it’s the word of God and the Pope is infallible.

      Doesn’t make any sense rationally, but that’s how they differentiate.

      He can say this progressive stuff while standing and it just pisses conservative Catholics off.

      If he does it “from the throne” we’ll likely see a formal split and conservative Catholics may even nominate their own Pope and officially split.
