How do you separate out "what the Church says" from "what the Leaders of the 
Church says"?   This sounds an awful lot like the True Scotsman fallacy, 
except that if the President of the church isn't speaking for the church, 
you have *no* true scotsmen around.

"No, that's not what the catholic church believes. That's just the pope's 
decree."
