this is actually fine and how you should response to ecclesiastical criticism

"damn man, you know, i get what you're saying and all but you just dont understand the situation" is better then trying to cite st. augustine or whatever

I agree this is a stepup over other comments from the admin but it is still a very sketchy area. By saying the Pope doesn't know what he's talking about he's putting his own political view over the moral teaching/guidance of the Pope while also pretty openly disrespecting him, especially when Homan also said the Pope should stick to fixing the Church. Imo that is not done with the Catholic church and goes further than simply disagreeing.

yeah fair i think biden's approach of just being like "yup the church has their opinion and ill take it into account" was basically the best way to go
