Editor’s Note: This is a very good critique, however, it is weakened by the fact that its author refused to recognize Pope Benedict XVI as the pope until his death, and thus, consequently, the author attempts to confront the problem of a pope teaching error in the context of a document which teaches nothing precisely because it emanates from a faux dicastery. For just as if a true Pope appointed a Cardinal prefect of the Dicastery of Lala Land, and co-signed a Declaration published by that prefect some days afterwards, no magisterial act would be posited by the Pope by reason of the non existence in right of the Dicastery, so also is it with Fiducia supplicans, speaking merely of the juridical order.
