Ok, theoretical question.
(and spare me the "It would never happen" arguement, I know that's what's believed.
If a pope made a proclamation, Ex Cathedra, that appeared heretical, or at the very least contra-biblical, would the Catholic laity be forced to believe it regardless? and would you? Even if it went against understood theology, and it made your spirit writh? I'm wondering exactly how far the capitulation to the Roman Pontiff goes.
