As I pointed out, the Pope's opinions on scientific questions have nothing to do with Catholic doctrine or papal infallibility.

Baloney. If evolution is true, Genesis MUST BE allegory. Which is it? That is not a matter of science. Who told you that science was outside of the domain of and sovereignty of God? God created everything, including the laws of physics. By your very statement you are presupposing the naturalistic view of science. My point is that by presupposing evolution is true, the Pope has relegated Genesis to a mere story! Why don't you address this? Because you know I am right! The moment you admit that Genesis is allegory, I will pounce, and it will be all over.

What about the catechism (vatican II) which states that muslims are saved because they believe in the same creator as we? Need a reference? I can bring it tomorrow (exact quote verbatim) - I have this quote from the catechism? This is pure unadulterated BLASPHEMY. Salvation is THRU CHRIST ALONE. Period. To believe anything else is apostasy.

Let me get this straight. The Pope prays with Hindus, etc., and this doesn't affect his authority on doctrine? Hahahaha. Logic would dictate that if he prays with pagans, he is following some doctrine (his own) that praying to false gods is okay. There is no way to reconcile that. You are whistling in the dark.
