Well what does the doctrine of infalliability teach?

Protestants seem to believe that infalliability means that one is God. So when you believe that your own personal interpretation of scripture is inerrant, does this mean that you are God?

Another straw-man arguement on your part. Protestants don’t think themselves as God. They believe the Bible is inerrant and that the Holy Spirit guides and teaches them into correct understanding.

Just because people arrive at different conclusions about certain verses doesn’t mean the scriptures are insufficient. Instead,the techniques used by the reader are insufficient.

I think that is not what is going on. Rather, I think the protestants say we are ALL flawed, but the catholics here seem to think that the “church fathers” were not flawed. According to your own definition above, one would infer that this means that catholics do, in fact, deify “Church Fathers”. Actually, that may explain many of their actions regarding the Pope.
