A lot of us don't believe he's actually pope. As in, there were serious irregularities in Benedict's "resignation" and the election of Bergoglio. And since he usurped the chair, he's been spouting all manner of error. Like never before. So yeah, his rulings are pretty much discarded by many of us as just so much drivel. If he was duly elected, we might approach these things differently.
