"The Holy Spirit makes a Pope infallible (incapable of teaching error) but not impeccable (incapable of sin)."

And where do we find the Holy Spirit giving this power to the popes?

"It is beyond question that he [the Pope] can err even in matters touching the faith. He does this when he teaches heresy by his own judgement or decretal. In truth, many Roman Pontiffs were heretics."-Pope Adrian VI 1523

      I like the quote.  Do you have a citation for it?

      I asked this question on another thread, and got no answer.  What is the origin of the term "solo scriptura"?

Back to the keys handed to Peter and only Peter...and not the top 12 or the to 100 friends or whatever...this was done for a reason and you shouldn't overlook the importance of this section of Scripture.
