Check out the fruit of your 'church' and 'infallible'.

You think men like this are above extorting Suzie for her money in exchange for a heretical indulgence if it can get them another hours with a prostitute?

The popes of Tyndale’s day were very powerful and very wicked. Sixtus IV (1471-1484) established houses of prostitution in Rome. Innocent VIII (1484-1492) had seven illegitimate children, whom he enriched with church treasures. Alexander VI (1492-1503) lived with a Spanish lady and her daughter, and reveled in the grossest forms of debauchery. "The accounts of some of the indecent orgies that took place in the presence of the pope and [his daughter] Lucrezia are too bestial for repetition" (Kerr, pp. 228,29). He had five children, and his favorite son, Caesar Borgia, murdered his brother and his brother-in-law.

Some 'church' you got there. Pure EVIL.

I think you need to support your original claim.
