interesting ... missed the post 3 weeks ago. So, doesn’t this say something about Papal infallibility to undo something 500 years old?

To this ex-catholic I hope they do ... and a few more things ... it’s that ‘infallibility’ item that is left open to question if they do though. Maybe that should be reconsidered as well!! ;-)

If I'm understanding you correctly, you seem to hold a definition of "papal infalibility" which is considerably more expansive than the one held by the Catholic Church. Perhaps you have it confused with "impeccability"? --- which would mean a Pope supposedly could commit no error, make no blunders, hold no mistaken opinions, and commit no sins? --- which is not a Catholic doctrine.

Don't feel I've put you down here, as this is a very common misconception among Catholics and non-Catholics alike.

(Sigh.)

500 years ago the Pope wasn’t infallible.
