Wow...quite a stretch to twist those verses in Matthew to mean the leader of Catholicism is infallible when he sits on a chair!

not a stretch at all, and the "chair" is not where he sits....a proclamation from the chair of Peter means that the pope is speaking ex cathedra....officially, not expressing an opinion. He could be standing, writing, whatever....when he issues a statement OFFICIALLY....FROM THE "CHAIR OF PETER" it cannot be in error.
