The Church cannot fail, but the fallible men in leadership can. Vatican I recorded many, many cases where Popes were wrong. Kasper's pronouncement is NOT infallible. The Words of the Consecration are essential by every other reading of Church law that I have seen. While this decision affects only a very few Faithful, it represents well Cardinal Kasper's views.

THE ROMAN CURIA
In exercising supreme, full, and immediate power in the universal Church, the Roman pontiff makes use of the departments of the Roman Curia which, therefore, perform their duties in his name and with his authority for the good of the churches and in the service of the sacred pastors.
CHRISTUS DOMINUS,
