Popesplainers prey on the ignorance of Catholics (and I don’t mean intentional or willful ignorance) For example, they will go after a trad by appealing to some canon from a council, but even councils have context and are directed toward certain realities. In addition, they perform leaps of logic that the average person can’t grasp without study. Example, so and so says “that pachamama thing was bad,” and the splainer replies “well, that is a heresy to say that because the first see is judged by no one!” See what happened there? No one “judged” the pope in any way that relates to a particular definition, but instead judged an action of the pope as being — at least in the external — clearly egregious. Ultimately, the splainers put the pope in a category of man who cannot be judged by reason, as it is an irrational and cultish mindset.
