HD -- Mark is pointing out the meaning of the word infallible viz. Fallible means able to make a mistake or able to teach error. Infallible means the opposite: the inability to make a mistake or to teach error.

This denotes a living "thing", one that can make a decision. A placard, say, is neither fallible nor infallible.

A better way of putting it. However, I am also pointing to the fact that English translations of the Bible are not what the authorized Greek versions are - they are approximate to them. That is why the Magisterium is required to teach the correct interpretation; otherwise Luther's every milkmaid will interpret any way and every way.

Here you see the Greek Orthodox fighting (correctly in my opinion) with their Metropolitan about usage of common Greek over proper, Church Greek -->
