If you think you are supposed to take his every word as the Gospel itself, you were poorly raised in our tradition.
Did you notice the words in my post "in matters of the Church"? There's no need to get cross because I said something that you don't agree with.

What does the Inquisition, or the reassessment of it by the Pope, have to do with Papal Infallibility?

I'm not cross. I'm pointing out to the other posters here that although you claim an impeccable Catholic background as your platform from which to discredit Church teaching, what you seek to discredit isn't part of the doctrine and tradition of the Church.

I saw that you wrote "matters of the chuch" and guess what? The Pope doesn't speak infallibly on every matter of the Church either. The only time Papal Infallibility is invoked is when he speak ex cathedra... from his chair as pastor and doctor of all Christians without consent of the Church. Over the past 2000 years, this has occurred rarely.

Bringing it up in this context amounts to nothing more than an ignorant Catholic bash. Using your family background was simply an attempt to give your words credence.
