Feanor, your'e being just a tad offensive in regard to the Catholic church, which is beloved those who belong to it (which doesn't happen to include me). This is not Gaurhoth.

The "papal infallibility" doctrine is very specific and circumscribed, such that only a specific kind of pronouncement from the papal see is considered to be infallible. I don't happen to accept the doctrine myself, but that's an aside.

Nevertheless, the point you're trying to make about churches not always being right, is apt.
