I don't believe the Catholic Church is infallible. Only the Word of God and Jesus Christ are infallible. Tell me how infallible they are when they let pedophiles molest children in the priesthood and go unpunished. My priest in one of my parishes when I lived in MD blew his brains out all over the church rectory when he was caught in another incident with young boys. Where is the inafallibility there? Tell me.

Dear DarthVader,

"Tell me how infallible they are when they let pedophiles molest children in the priesthood and go unpunished."

You've confused infallibility with impeccability.

As well, not every word uttered by every Catholic, or even by every Catholic priest, is infallible. Infallibility applies only to the authoritative teaching Magisterium of the Church, and then, only in limited fashion.

But, in your failure to believe in the infallible Magisterium of the Catholic Church, you certainly appear to be similar to Mr. Kerry. And you certainly place yourself outside the requirements of faithful Catholicism.

By the way, where did you live in Maryland?

You need to come to grips with what "infallibility" means. It is not the same as "impeccibility."

It certainly doesn't mean every single Catholic person, priest, bishop or pope is going to make every decision flawlessly and live a life without error or sin. It is easy to attck strawmen, much harder to study and understand first what it is you reject with caricature and ignorance.
