Infallibility?

Roger Mellie Man on the Telly

Does anyone think the pope actually, really, honestly believes he’s infallible?

What goes through his mind when he stands on an upturned plug, for example?

Catholicism utterly baffles me.

Gulp?

Only in matters of doctrine where he speaks ex-cathedra.

But no, I don't believe he is or indeed stands on plugs!

I used to think I wasn't infallible but it turns out I was wrong.

My understanding is that his infallibility pertains to Catholic Doctrine.

Insofar that whatever he proclaims in relation to doctrine, becomes doctrine.

It doesn't mean that if you ask him what the capital of Outer Mongolia is, he has to know the answer

"Ow!", or something to that effect.

The Pope, as you may already know and are just doing a jokey thread, is only infallible on matters of doctrine.

Papal infallibility only applies in certain situations. It is perfectly possible to be a devout Catholic and think the pope is usually wrong.

If he was forced to say, at gun point, "I am not infallible" and given he is infallible and everything he says must be true then he will lose his infallibility. I think.

Donald Trump

Apparently he was asked in relation to his ability to tell porkies. And he replied

I can't sincerely believe anyone gets to a high level in that organisation without being implicated in the nonsense it is. I'd bet my house on the whole bloody thing being a known scam from, say, Cardinal up.

I really love how 21st century Ireland is getting out of the whole Catholic Church thing. It's cool. I'd like to see some more action from the church of Ireland crowd too. A very quiet bunch. But I really worry about why people need to post stuff about it. Is it some kind of insecurity throwback? If you don't care about religion, why worry about the Popes infallibility thing. Who gives a fook. Unless the OP is religious and has an issue with the Pope and ****. Otherwise, whats the fooking point of threads like this.

I abandoned religion a long time ago. I have no problem with those who practice it unless they try to shove it down my throat on a face to face basis.

The same as anyone else, I would imagine - a mixture of profanity, blasphemy and references to illegal sexual practices.

I believe the popes have only spoken ex cathedra twice since it became canon law. The last time was regarding the Virgin Mary in the 60's so there's very little chance that this pope will.

Edit: both times were.
