We’re talking about all the infallibilities.

[Mad Dawg]

I get that. I don't see what is confusing about saying that the infallibility inheres not in the man/men, who is a sinner/are sinners, but in the office (or function, in the case of a council).

I'd say that the conference in Jerusalem gives a precedent. Nobody thinks anyone there individually and "on his own time", so to speak, was infallible. But when they gather and deliberate they end up saying "It seems good to the Holy Spirit and to us ...." I think we have a precedent.
