I have a huge problem with papal infallibility. I would like to know the Biblical justification, and more to the point given some of the real stinkers some have been, could it be that a misinterpretation has taken place?
The canned RC response to that will be that "the Pope is not infallible" in his everyday endeavors, only when he "occupies the Seat of Peter." Well, I'm glad that is cleared up. He can be the most evil pedophile monster (not saying he is, this is just a point, so calm down) who eats his victims after sodomizing them, and then he is the conduit of God himself to men when he "strikes the pose."
Not too hard to understand and it is an EXTREMELY restricted dogma......ONLY if the Pope declares so, and ONLY if he speaks on a matter of Faith or morals, and ONLY if he speaks Ex Cathedra is he Infallible. I know of only twice...the Assumption and the Immaculate Conception, that he has done so.
When the Pope speaks on many other things, he does speak as head of the catholic church, but he is as subject to error as anyone else...global warming is the latest...and it is strictly his human opinion....rest easy.
