“I see you still do not comprehend the limits of papal infallibilty.”

Jan Sobieski, I see that you do not understand the limits of papal infallibility. It has nothing to do with the day to day decisions and actions, right or wrong, of a Pope. I am no fan of Francis, who I think was installed by the NWO, but Papal Infallibility has nothing to do with this action.

From Pastor aeternus, which you referenced in an earlier comment:

6. For the Holy Spirit was promised to the successors of Peter not so that they might, by his revelation, make known some new doctrine, but that, by his assistance, they might religiously guard and faithfully expound the revelation or deposit of faith transmitted by the apostles.

“...when the Roman Pontiff speaks EX CATHEDRA, that is, when, in the exercise of his office as shepherd and teacher of all Christians, in virtue of his supreme apostolic authority, he defines [not creates] a doctrine concerning faith or morals to be held by the whole Church.”

The mission of the Church is to minister to sinners, as Christ did. If Francis starts telling the male prostitutes that what they are doing is OK and that they don’t need to stop and repent, that would violate Church doctrine and would definitely not be OK. And to my knowledge, Francis has not attempted to pronounce EX CATHEDRA that it is OK.

Where is this promise to the successors of Peter written in the Bible? I'd really like to look those verses over carefully. Thanks in advance.

Was not the Holy Spirit promised to ALL believers of Christ??
