Pope Benedict XVI: "The Pope is not an oracle; he is infallible in very rare situations, as we know."

Pope John XXIII: "I am only infallible if I speak infallibly but I shall never do that, so I am not infallible."

Two useless quotes.

One of Popes said that they don’t speak for God very often, and another one says that for some reason he knew that God wouldn’t be asking him to pass on any messages during his time of holding the position.

So the only time that a Pope has to be thought of as perfect, is when he is passing on to all Catholics, what God just told him, or that someone we knew, is now with God and is a saint.
