<<>> Steve is correct in that theologians are allowed speculation in those non-infallible areas. My concern was with theologians who teach and promulgate doctrines which contradict the Magesterium and when they have been censured have refused to accept the teaching authority of the Church. The theologian has TWO responsibilities the greater of which is fidelity to the Magesterium. Granted there is a fine distinction between speculation and heresy at times. Vince Marchionni
