but I have never believed in infallibility and I think this time he is screwing up.


I don,t know where this infallible doctrine comes from, i hear from some Catholics that the Church is infallible and then some will deny that there are any one who is infallible.

I also do not believe any one except Christ is infallible.

Paul accused Peter of doing wrong, if its true i have no idea but we can see that if there were one wrong there were two.

The second one would be in the telling, i am curious, do the Catholics believe The first Pope Peter was infallible?

If so do they believe Paul was also infallible? i do not believe it can be both ways.

Being about half way intelligent i would say that if Peter was infallible then Paul would in my mind be the object of suspicion.

The Catholic,s like all of the others want converts to their Church, no one will get me as a convert unless they are willing to be forthright on these matters.

I think you're confusing "infallible" (able to teach without error) with "impeccable" (without sin).

Nobody thinks the Pope is impeccable, only infallible in certain specific circumstances.

If you believe that the NT is inspired, you believe that, e.g., Peter and Paul exercised a higher gift than infallibility when they wrote Scripture.
