What amazes me is that you do not understand the difference between infallibility and impeccability. While infallible, the Church has never claimed impeccability for the pope or her bishops. There have been many sinners within the Catholic Church, even popes. (Remember Peter's denial?) But despite this the Catholic Church has remained faithful to the apostolic teaching. You and I both can both make a litany of such sins and abuses, yet the magisterial teaching of the Church has remained unchanged. What better proof can you have of her infallibility?
