@FeserEdward Really, this isn’t hard. When, on a matter of faith or morals, popes speak ex cathedra, or when they simply reiterate what has always been taught by the Church for millennia, they are infallible. When they make novel utterances in a non-ex cathedra context, they can err.

So the sitting pontiff can teach errors in matters of faith and morals then? I thought that he’s incapable of such feat according to Pastor Aeternus. Being honest here: either Francis is longer the pope or the gates of hell has prevailed.

But here’s the rub. We still owe religious assent to non-infallible teachings. Those who insist Francis is definitely pope have to get shot because he calls it a moral obligation.
