Papal infallibility has been exercised three times: t

Papal infallibility is exercised every time the Holy Father says it is, which is frequently, with encyclicals, etc.

It is also exercised every time the Holy Father declares someone a saint.

Corrected version:

Papal infallibility has been exercised three times...

Papal infallibility is exercised every time the Holy Father says it is, which is frequently, with encyclicals, etc.

It is also exercised every time the Holy Father declares someone a saint.

You and I have been through this before. What you say is simply not true. Invoking papal infallibility has occurred three times. If you wish to pretend that it occurs like the rising of the sun, then you are free to believe that.

Catholics are not required, under pain of sin and loss of their immortal souls, that particular people are saints.
