When I was in grammer school we were taught that the Pope is Christ's representative on earth and that although he is a man he is infallible when it comes to Church doctrine. Infallibility does not include political commentary.

So what's the excuse for all the other Popes in history that did seriously bad things?

To put a man on a pedistal where he can do "no wrong" in the field of religion is contrary to anything I know of in the Bible. Man is born in sin. Having other men choose a man for Pope doesn't wash that away.

This is one of the root issues as to why I'm not Catholic.

This was a Catholic grammar school, I take it?
