The Pope is deemed infallible only when making pronouncements ex Cathedra..............a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. ''According to The Complete Idiot's Guide to Understanding Catholicism: "In reality, the pope seldom uses his power of infallibility......rather than being some mystical power of the pope, infallibility means the church allows the office of the pope to be the ruling agent in deciding what will be accepted as formal beliefs in the church."[2] Since the 1870 solemn declaration of Papal Infallibility by Vatican I, this power has been used only once: in 1950 when Pius XII defined the Assumption of Mary as being an article of faith for Roman Catholics.'' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papal_infallibility -- DEV BOREM KORUM.
