He is. And his previous statements about atheists need to follow their "conscience" and the downplaying of homosexuality are equally outrageous.
And millions of people (including children) believe he is infallible, and speaks for God Himself.
Christ had something to say about such people:
"If anyone causes one of these little ones--those who believe in me--to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea."
Matthew 18:6
Hate to say it, but we told ya so. :)
Will you come out of there now and join us, born again believers in Christ?
And, no, I am not advocating any denomination...just those who want to fellowship with true believers.
We would love to welcome you in the name of Christ.
If one knows anything about Catholicism and hopefully this includes Catholics, know that the Pope is not “infallible” in all things.
Papal infallibility can be defined as: When the Pope (1) intends to teach (2) by virtue of his supreme authority (3) on a matter of faith and morals (4) to the whole Church, he is preserved by the Holy Spirit from error. His teaching act is therefore called “infallible” and the teaching which he articulates is termed “irreformable”.
