Dave Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 [quote name='the lumberjack' date='Apr 4 2004, 10:25 PM'] so if the pope sins, how can he be infallible? [/quote] Infallibility has nothing to do with moral impeccability. All it means is that when the Pope teaches on faith or morals either in union with the bishops of the world or ex cathedra, that is, from the chair -- his fullest capacity as teacher and shepherd -- that he cannot teach incorrectly.

Theoketos Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 In fact the Pope could be sinning (by cusing for eg) while he was making an infalliable statement. But whole could really see JP II doing that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
