I think you folks are doomed to wander endlessly in the arid intellectual deserts to try and find that magical oasis where you will discover the Laver of Liberty you can use to Baptise yourselves as the new Catholic man robbed in Protestant Liberty so you can reject an Infallible Ecumenical Council in whole or in part.<>

I'm quite familiar with your link. My concern isn't about the statement that Councils are infallible. It's the way you seem to be mixing the notion of a council being invested with infallible authority and a council making an infallible pronouncement.

The pope is also infallible. But that does not justify the notion that his every word and action is infallible. In fact the Church goes to great pains to specifically define HOW the pope is infallible. It does the same with Ecumenical Councils.

In other words, saying a council is infallible is not the same thing as saying a particular statement by a council in infallible. Councils make both infallible and "non-infallible" statements.
