My experience at the NO

[GottmitunsAlex]

Chill Someone1776. I was specifically referring to the part about the Pope. I know about The authority of the Magesterium of the Church's teachings.
Thanks for the info anyways!
:)

We are not "free to reject" the teachings of the pope in such a way that I think you're describing.  The way you have described it, one would ask what the purpose of the papacy was for the first 1800 years of it before the first ex cathedra proclamation.  Really, with the exception of obviously erroneous teachings (which would happen as a private theologian, not as the pope) we are in effect obliged to follow all that the pope teaches on faith and morals, ex cathedra or not.

That's why we have the Magesterium of the Church and it's teachings. Before the first papal bull was enacted. I know this. It's called Tradition of the Church.
Again. just the little part in bold. no more.
