Obviously, the pages of the Bible didn't just appear from nowhere, however it was a Divinely inspired book. That's why you can take what it says to the bank.

The Bible was NOT simply thought up and written by men, though, and that's the big difference. Papal policies and edicts come from a man, who, when it all boils down, is just as fallible as the rest of us.

Papal policies and edicts come from a man, who, when it all boils down, is just as fallible as the rest of us.

You're making a distinction where none exists. Obviously, Catholics believe that the Pope and church leaders are "divinely inspired" in the same way you believe the writers of the Bible were.

I fail to see how your belief is sound while mine is not.
