The RCC is a giant house of cards, and not one of them dare be moved or the whole house collapses.

I believe one of the reasons it is virtually impossible to get an official RCC answer to the question "How many, and what, Infallible pronouncements have been made" is (and I mean this seriously) because the RCC is embarrased with the proclamations of "Perpetual Virginity" and "Bodily Assumption". It is now necessary to defend this position against Scripture, History, and Reason. From this point forward the Church will encouch each Papal Pronouncement with enough "smoke" that it will be impossible to pin it down. Wanna bet?

The question was asked and answered. I believe dignan3 gave the full answer. It's not my fault you can't read.

(and I mean this seriously)

Sadly

because the RCC is embarrased with the proclamations of "Perpetual Virginity" and "Bodily Assumption".

We boldy declare these. The only embarasment is that we have let the devil speak to too many of our former followers, tempting them with their own infalliblity. And resistance to reason and nuance.

It is now necessary to defend this position against Scripture, History, and Reason. From this point forward the Church will encouch each Papal Pronouncement with enough "smoke" that it will be impossible to pin it down. Wanna bet?

You are delusional. I don't gamble with that type.
