And yet, per the Catholic Church's own proclamations, if Alexander VI did decree ex-cathedra dogmas, you would still be bound today to obey them. But he DIDN'T.
The whole inerrant, infallible and Holy Spirit empowered role of the pope.
Infallibility PROTECTS the popes from teaching error, Alexander VI is a PERFECT example of that.

I apparently didn't state my question clearly enough. My point has to do with the fact that he WAS elected as Pope. Who was responsible for that? I thought the pope was supposed to be a divinely appointed Apostolic succession. If, as y'all claim, the position is Christ's guarantee of unbroken authority for the preservation of the truth, then how did this get past him? How did the others (the questionable ones) get past him either?
