Emmaus, This is an obviously emotionally charged topic, and one that no doubt may be misunderstood by non-Catholics. I do appreciate your "insider" perspective. In honestly seeking clarification here, could you do 2 things? 1. Provide a more "layman" explanation or summary of what this is saying; 2. Define Infallibilty. My major challenge is this: I would have an extremely hard time (from my perspective)in accepting that anyone- including the Pope - could be "infallible" in any meaningful sense of the word. This seems to be contrary to scripture. How exactly would the Church as a whole possess infallibility? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

BradK, As me something easy like how can a Church full of sinners be a spotless bride? ;-) Or how can a bunch of bumblers like the apostles teach and spread the faith without error? I presume you believe they did do that. The following article may be more helpful than anything I could write. I have quoted its closing paragraph. http://www.catholic.com/library/Papal_Infallibility.asp "Since Christ said the gates of hell would not prevail against his Church (Matt. 16:18b), this means that his Church can never pass out of existence. But if the Church ever apostasized by teaching heresy, then it would cease to exist; because it would cease to be Jesus' Church. Thus the Church cannot teach heresy, meaning that anything it solemnly defines for the faithful to believe is true. This same reality is reflected in the Apostle Paul's statement that the Church is "the pillar and foundation of the truth" (1 Tim. 3:15). If the Church is the foundation of religious truth in this world, then it is God's own spokesman. As Christ told his disciples: "He who hears you hears me, and he who rejects you rejects me, and he who rejects me rejects him who sent me" (Luke 10:16)." Emmaus |
