[Petrosius]

The supposedly God directed College of Cardinals elected this man to direct Roman Catholicism.

How many times will this canard be trotted out after it has been repeatedly pointed out that this is not Catholic teaching?

Exactly.

Nonsense. At some level it MUST be part of Catholic teaching. The authority of Rome rests on the assumption that the hierarchy (taken as a body) cannot be wrong on matters of central importance (like dogma). If God can permit it to be wrong, then it implies that any aspect of Church teaching could be wrong due to the “’fallibility of men”. That’s a very shaky foundation to build ‘The True Church”’ upon.
