One of the best things I have ever heard a pope teach came from St. John Paul II. He placed a limit on the pope’s supreme authority.
Thankfully, he said that he had no authority to change Catholics teaching in the Ordinary Magisterium of the Church! That was GREAT!
Cardinal Müller: Pope would ‘automatically’ lose his office by teaching heresy
‘The pope is the perennial principle and foundation of the unity of the Church,’ Cardinal Müller writes in a new essay for First Things. ‘But the Church is not centralized in him, as if he were the supreme leader of a totalitarian party.’

Wonderful quote!!!
"Cardinal Müller: Pope would ‘automatically’ lose his office by teaching heresy."
Cardinal Müller said that?
Has Cardinal Müller forgotten that it is impossible for the Vicar of Christ to teach heresy?
Holy Mother Church has guaranteed that thanks to the promise of Jesus Christ, the Roman Pontiff is protected from teaching heresy. Does Cardinal Müller reject that?
Pax.

Exactly Mark! No pope can teach heresy because as soon as they do it, they are no longer the pope! Excellent!
Father McDonald said..."Exactly Mark! No pope can teach heresy because as soon as they do it, they are no longer the pope!"
The Church teaches that? Where is that teaching?
The Pope, before anything else, is under Divine protection from teaching heresy/error. Does the Cardinal reject the following Church teachings?
"For in the Apostolic See the Catholic religion has always been preserved unblemished...all the venerable fathers and reverenced and followed by all the holy orthodox doctors, for they knew very well that this See of St. Peter always remains unblemished by any error, in accordance with the divine promise of our Lord and Savior to the prince of his disciples: "
"This charism of truth and never-failing faith was therefore divinely-conferred on Peter and his successors..."
Pax.

Exactly Mark, do pope ever teaches heresy because when he does, he is no loner the pope. That is Divine protection to say the least.
No pope, not do pope
