Do you believe that the Pope is infallible as defined by Vatican I? Do you believe the current Pope is the rightful pontiff?

What kind of ridiculous questions are these? Do you take me for an Old Catholic?

I do believe that the current Pope is always the rightful Pontiff. Something else would be an utter logical contradiction, would it not? Isn't it impossible for the present Pope to be anything but the rightful Pontiff?

And the answer to your childish quiz is that one Josef Ratzinger, formerly Archbishop of Muenchen-Freising, formerly Cardinal Prefect of the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, currently reigns as our Pope, the Patriarch of the West, Primate of Italy, Bishop of the Holy Roman Church, etc., etc., etc., etc.

Yes I was wondering if that was the case. I am glad to have been corrected.
