Cardinal Müller: "There Is No Doubt That Francis Is a Legitimate Pope" - So?

Therefore: "There is no doubt that Francis is a legitimate Pope."
Müller's distraction from the heresies in Francis' Vatican: "Jesus didn't give us the guarantee that bishops and popes always do the best. Only in the case of the dogma ex cathedra is the Pope infallible".
This position virtually reduces papal infallibility to nothing, implying that there was no papal infallibility before its formal declaration in July 1870, and that there is no infallibility outside the very rare cases in which infallibility is formally invoked.
The Cardinal adds that it is a misunderstanding of a Pope's authority "to make him the Oracle of Delphi", which is true, but neither should the Pope be an oracle of nonsense.
Referring to the disputes between Peter and Paul [over whether pagans had to observe Old Testament customs and laws such as circumcision and dietary restrictions], Cardinal Müller adds that Paul "never doubted the authority of Peter given by Jesus Christ".
