You failed to answer my challenge regarding Ss. Peter and Paul. Nevertheless...

“Are you arguing *against* papal infalliability?”

No. Papal infallibility only “kicks in” when the papal statement is made from the chair of Peter. What’s more, an infallible teaching can never be contradicted, even by a subsequent pope. Therefore, no pope is free to teach error and no Catholic is free to accept error. Deal with it.

“No. Papal infallibility only “kicks in” when the papal statement is made from the chair of Peter.”

And only regarding issues of faith and morals.

“What’s more, an infallible teaching can never be contradicted, even by a subsequent pope. Therefore, no pope is free to teach error and no Catholic is free to accept error. Deal with it.”

So there’s your answer to Peter’s ‘error’ on circumcision. Which is why I’m sure that no Christians get circumcised anymore these days.
