Note that there is a significant conflict within the Catholic Church on the doctrine of infallibility and what it means. For many of us, infallibility is limited to specific pronouncements of a Pope spoken in combination with a Church council. But the doctrine has only been in place since 1870 and is still being defined. This may well be the bigger issue, and my fear is that if infallibility is available to a pope on a day to day issue the Church itself will have lost the eternal faith.

The definition employed generally is "bullshit."
Infallible? What the hell kind of organization is the Church? Sounds like some fucking silly fraternity ritual... "And now, we shall read from the infallible text of our founder, Cornelious Bottomely." Nonsense. I mean, I get being spiritual, but this "Institution Worship" is bizarre. How in the hell can any of this bureaucratic, self-perpoetuating corpotrate horseshit have anything to do with getting closer to God.
You want to find God? Stay as far away from a Church as possible. I think Mencken, perhaps Twain said that. Couldn't agree more.
Absurd, fucking absurd. Infallibility... I mean, really... what are we laity, a mass of imbeciles?
