Catholics on this site are deeply misinformed people. They think they don't need to listen to everything the pope says unless it is ex cathedra. They are wrong. In fact, they must obey literally every word that comes out of the pope's mouth at all times. Always.

Canon Law 752 states:
>Although not an assent of faith, a religious submission of the intellect and will must be given to a doctrine which the Supreme Pontiff or the college of bishops declares concerning faith or morals when they exercise the authentic magisterium, even if they do not intend to proclaim it by definitive act; therefore, the Christian faithful are to take care to avoid those things which do not agree with it.

What does this submission entail? Per Donum Veritatis, written in 1990 by the Pope and approved by the CDF, this means that you must force yourself to agree with what the pope or any bishop says under pain of mortal sin:
>Such a disagreement could not be justified if it were based solely upon the fact that the validity of the given teaching is not evident or upon the opinion that the opposite position would be the more probable. Nor, furthermore, would the judgment of the subjective conscience of the theologian justify it because conscience does not constitute an autonomous and exclusive authority for deciding the truth of a doctrine.

>This will mean an intense and patient reflection on his part and a readiness, if need be, to revise his own opinions and examine the objections which his colleagues might offer him (28-29).

But what if you still disagree?
>Faced with a proposition to which he feels he cannot give his intellectual assent, the theologian nevertheless has the duty to remain open to a deeper examination of the question (31).
>For a loyal spirit, animated by love for the Church, such a situation can certainly prove a difficult trial. It can be a call to suffer for the truth, in silence and prayer, but with the certainty that if the truth really is at stake, it will ultimately prevail (31).

This means, in other words, that for everything the pope or any bishop says, you must ALWAYS agree in your heart and mind 100%. If you do not, you must constantly struggle to make yourself believe otherwise, bringing yourself to pain and tears. If you do anything less, you are violating canon law and are in a state of mortal sin that cannot be lifted until you agree.

Now keep in mind the pope sanctioned worship of a demon idol in the Vatican last summer. This means that every Catholic must fully embrace demon worship and defend it to their deaths. Or else they go to hell. Isn't canon law interesting? Remember, this does not only apply to infallible statements! Any time a pope or bishop speaks, every Catholic must obey and submit completely. Every time.
