A product of papal centralization -- so do they reflect a second millenium claim about episcopal (or papal) authority and the attendant obligations of the Christian faithful?
What is included in the deposit of Faith for a bishop? Only that which has been explicitly determined to be a part of the deposit of Faith? Or do theological conclusions count as well? Or are such conclusions to be taken to be opinion until agreed upon by the Church Universal? What about laws or precepts? Which laws are to be made by a bishop for the good of the local Church? Which precepts are not laws that are binding but only recommendations or suggestions? (Does a bishop really have the authority to set laws pertaining to diet, for example)

Sometimes “religious obsequium” is translated “religious assent,” at other times “religious submission,” and at other times “religious respect”. What exactly are we being asked to do?

What a bunch of confusion. CONFUSION IS OF THE DEVIL. Someone who is that CONFUSED should not be a pope. POPE FRANCIS confusion is of the devil.
How much money you all make of this while countless souls go to HELL?
Shame on you all, WRETCHED SINNERS. Get on with GOD'S will. God's WILL? 10 COMMANDMENTS, you charlatans.
