Isn't he infallible. :-)
And round and round we go......
No, he isn’t.
In fact, iirc, the Roman Catholic church doesn’t claim the Pope is infallible every time he speaks. My understanding is that he is only infallible if he speaks in a particular way on particular matters. Not being Roman Catholic, I don’t pay too much attention to the ins-and-outs of that belief.
The Bible is clear. There is no person who is good ENOUGH to earn their way into heaven. All our [own] righteousness is as filthy rags. We ALL need a savior and that is found in Christ Jesus. There is but one mediator between men and God, the man Christ Jesus.
If the Pope said anything else, and there is now evidence that the media got yet another thing wrong, the Pope is in error.
I don’t think you understand the entire subject of infallibility. It is only is subjects of faith and morals — only two dogmas have been propagated by Popes as infallible.
Every day stuff is not infallible, but may be impeccable or not.
