"Dissent"?

Does this not have a fairly specific meaning in the language of my tribe, in Catholish?

Is it correct to label every disagreement with a person who has some authority in the Church "dissent"?

Is it honest to advance a claim of some sort of parity between disagreeing with a pope's magisterial encyclicals and a lack of "enthusiasm" for a pope's ideas?

I don't think so, Cdl Wuerl, I really don't.
And I don't believe you honestly think so, either.
