Where does the RCC catechism say the Roman Catholic church is fallible anywhere?

2297 Kidnapping and hostage taking bring on a reign of terror; by means of threats they subject their victims to intolerable pressures. They are morally wrong. Terrorism threatens, wounds, and kills indiscriminately; it is gravely against justice and charity. Torture which uses physical or moral violence to extract confessions, punish the guilty, frighten opponents, or satisfy hatred is contrary to respect for the person and for human dignity. Except when performed for strictly therapeutic medical reasons, directly intended amputations, mutilations, and sterilizations performed on innocent persons are against the moral law.91

2298 In times past, cruel practices were commonly used by legitimate governments to maintain law and order, often without protest from the Pastors of the Church, who themselves adopted in their own tribunals the prescriptions of Roman law concerning torture. Regrettable as these facts are, the Church always taught the duty of clemency and mercy. She forbade clerics to shed blood. In recent times it has become evident that these cruel practices were neither necessary for public order, nor in conformity with the legitimate rights of the human person. On the contrary, these practices led to ones even more degrading. It is necessary to work for their abolition. We must pray for the victims and their tormentors.

ARTICLE 5 THE FIFTH COMMANDMENT

Learn, "doctor". Bottom line is, your charlatan pastors teach counterbiblical nonsense and because they know so, they direct their propaganda at things that happened long ago in cultures modern mind cannot comprehend. Thast, and not any personal flaws is the indecency of Protestantism. It is a culture of lies.

Learn annalex, learn the meaning of the English language words you published.

Nowhere does the Catechism you published admit the fallibility of the Church. Individual Pastors (the convenient fall guys)- yes. The RCC - NO!

Self serving propaganda. Read for meaning.

AMEN!

Funny that in some posts RC apologists claim their church is infallible and in other posts they insist just the opposite.

Like the democrats, consistency is not one of Rome's virtues.

I never said the Catechism teaches that the Church is fallible. It teaches, exactly what you said, that the individual pastors are fallible and that the Church is positively infallible in the matters of faith and morals. In political patters, there is no such claim.
