Two useless quotes.
One of Popes said that they don’t speak for God very often, and another one says that for some reason he knew that God wouldn’t be asking him to pass on any messages during his time of holding the position.
So the only time that a Pope has to be thought of as perfect, is when he is passing on to all Catholics, what God just told him, or that someone we knew, is now with God and is a saint.
Ansel12, infallibility is NEVER a matter of God asking a Pope to pass on messages. You would have known that if you had read #50: "Let me reiterate that infallibility is not a positive power of the Pope; it is a negative protection of the Church."
"So the only time that a Pope has to be thought of as perfect..."
When you start out like that, I know you are not responding to what I wrote about Catholic doctrine. I explained repeatedly that "infallible" is not synonymous with "perfect." Please scrap the word "perfect" if we are to continue this discussion.
"... is when he is passing on to all Catholics, what God just told him..."
Honestly, this is ridiculous. It is nothing of the kind. I just explained that papal infallibility has no positive content (I was carefully to say that twice) and that is not in any way prophetic or oracular. It is not a matter of "God told the Pope."
Good night, ansel12.
