I thought the Pope was supposed to be "infallible". If that's the case, can't he claim that his political judgements carry more weight than President Bush's or Prime Minister Blair's?

"Infallible" does not mean inerrant except in his jurisdiction over questions of faith and morals. If you read what the pope has said, you can see that this priest has crossed the line in calling the war "immoral." This is his private judgment and parishioners are within their rights to challenge him.

How many times does the doctrine of papal infallability have to be explained here?

You're in over your head junior.
