And Catholics claim, with a straight face, that the Pope is infallible. Hahahahahahahahahaha !!!!

My dog is more infallible than this Marxist Pope. He only barks when there really is a stranger approaching the front door or otherwise on our property. That’s a better hit rate for the truth than Francis.

And Catholics claim, with a straight face, that the Pope is infallible

Only supposed to be on matters of faith and morals, and only when speaking in his official capacity as head of the church. This boob is obviously doing neither - sticking his commie nose into things he knows nothing about and like any Hollywood celeb spouting excrement because he confuses fame with wisdom.

And Catholics claim, with a straight face, that the Pope is infallible.

The Pope is infallible in only certain narrowly defined circumstances:

1. In canonizing a saint
2. When he, as Pope (not as a private theologian), teaches definitively, to the whole Church, a doctrine concerning faith and morals.

Note that in the last case, there are four conditions, all of which have to be met. (Pope Francis has never attempted to use this second form of infallibility.)

Also, infallibility is a merely negative charism. It speaks of conditions in which the Pope won't teach error.

Catholic Answers used to ask a question to illustrate this: "If the Pope were infallible in trigonometry, what is the lowest grade he could get on a trigonometry test?" The correct answer is "zero", because he could hand in a blank paper.
