"If the Magisterium is protected by ordinary infallibility, then the Catechism of the Catholic Church is so protected."

Nice theory, but how does it accomodate the fact that the Catechism has already been revised within 10 years of its publication?

Could this be an example of creeping infallibility or fallible and reformable infallibility?

Nice try, slick, but you are attempting to use logic.

Logic and Catholicism do not go together.

I just spewed Sprite on my keyboard.

It does get problematic after you make a sweeping pronouncement of perfection, doesn't it? Makes it hard to deal with changes in humanity and the polity.

<> Due to the demand, The Catechism was first published in French. Thanks be to God, French isn't authoritative:)

The Catechism that is authoritative is the Roman edition<>
