I think there's legions of wolves trying to pervert the word of God and that the word should be gaurded against 'infailable individuals' who try to create cults around themselves and their 'interpretations'(perversions of the Word).

People that think RC doctrines are wrong to not think themselves infallible. Just don't agree that the RCC is "The Church". There is a hugh difference. It's dishonest to suggest that I think I'm infallible because I think the RCC is wrong.

Have there been folks who did that? Certainly--in Protestantism and in the Roman system. Probably in the Orthodox system as well.

Is every or even more than a minute percentage of Protesties involved in such. Absolutely not. At least not in the sense it seems to be meant.

Certainly every leader in every group has a human tendency to think they have a corner on truth and everyone ought to believe exactly like them. And that is often a slippery slope to error and other gross junk. But no one is immune from that. It requires constant sensitivity to Holy Spirit and constantly purified motives of the heart to avoid such.

By all individuals in all groups.

imho.
