Aloysius Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 are you sure? i thought on matters of current events n stuff, He wasn't infallible. only on proclaiming doctrine. like how Peter taught the faith as had been revealed by the Father through Christ infallibly, yet in current events he messed up, denying Christ when He was arrested and kutting off the servant's ear, even though that wasn't Christ's will. etc. etc. i kuld be wrong, we need an intellectual of Church documents. although it's clear at certain points of history ppl thought (and may have been right, i will yield my current opinion to the Church's position when it is show me) that he was infallible on matters of current events. like when a Pope called for, i think the first crusade, the ppl shouted "God wills it!"
Anna Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 The pope isn't infallible, except when he speaks for the Church on Faith and Morals. Then, he is infallible!!! However, in his wisdom, it would extremely rare for him to publicly speak out on anything that he didn't pray and study first. But, say while visiting Mexico, he asks for a drink of water...now, that would be a modern decision that could be a big mistake! Pax Christi. <><
