Wow, ya’ll can complicate something as clear as the Gospel message of faith in Christ.
Spoken like a true barbarian anti-intellectual.
Your point is addressed brilliantly by Chesterton, in the chapter titled “The Usual Article.”

On the contrary, we follow the Gospel message and take it to heart, preaching and teaching it for 2000 years.
I get it.
The church teaches that it’s infallible, except when it’s not.
The pope can speak infallibly, except when he doesn’t.
Catholics have to accept infallible teaching of some kind, except when they don’t.
And to clarify matters, they throw in a bunch of Latin phrases to sound really intellectual.
And in the end, Catholic still argue amongst themselves over what is infallible and what has to be adhered to or not.
They aren’t even sure.
I believe I speak for many Catholics both on and off the forum who have a high appreciation of your concern in our Catholic beliefs.
We especially appreciate your well formed and comments based on your true Christian concern for all your Catholic brethren in Christ.
Your deep understanding and study on the subject of Papal Infallability and the Majesterium leaves the rest of us poor unschooled Catholics shaking our heads in awe...
or not.
