That argument

I made no attempt at an argument in defense of anyone in that poll; I wrote the comment because I knew if I didn't, some annoying wannabe pedant was going to come in about "hurr durr papal infallibility" not knowing what they're talking about.

It would be more consistent to think that they are simply ignorant with regard to both doctrines.

I agree. Everything I said, as noted, was preempting misguided pedantry, not about what any of the people in the poll actually believe.

I made no attempt at an argument in defense of anyone in that poll

I didn't mean to reference an argument in defense of the poll takers, but the argument that Catholics are allowed by doctrine to disagree with the Pope. I just wanted to say that the doctrine doesn't matter if people we are measuring by the doctrine are unaware of it or ignorant of its ramifications.

With that understanding, in people in this case could disagree with the pope, knowing that it was permissible, it would hint that they would have this nearly unthinkably disparate understanding of their own religion.
