Gabe, There are things called facts. I usually stop reading any article when facts are disregarded. I just do not have the time to do this. At times, a contention I have read becomes so absurd that I will take time to point it out. > Also your remark about infallibility is simply wrong and gives non Catholics >the > idea that the Pope is infallible, tongue in cheek or not. The Pope is only > infallible > when he pronounces "Ex Cathedra" Contrary to what the Catholic Church claims, no one or group is infallible. The church is run by humans just like you and me and you know that all humans make mistrakes. It can only be a phobia, or worse, that makes a person or group claim that they can never be wrong.
