Papal Infallibility plays no part in what the pope is saying. Papal infallibility only refers to Dogma on Faith & Morals and has not been used since 1950 on any issue. If you are a Catholic theologian or canon lawyer and can tell me different, I would love to hear where it says that this is infallible teaching.

I am perfectly aware, despite not being a Catholic myself, that papal infallibity is limited to binding declarations on faith and morals. My point was that "neo-Catholics" often seem to (incorrectly) exaggerate papal infallibility on other issues, but (correctly) see that it does not apply to the war. I find it ironic that many of those who freely and irresponsibly denounce their fellow Catholics as "schismatics" for disagreeing with the Pope on liturgy, ecumenism, altar girls, etc. are so anxious to point out that they do not have to agree with the Pope on the war.
