According to the Complete Idiot's Guide to Understanding Catholocism, "In reality, the pope seldom uses his power of infallibility. The last time an infallible doctrine was declared was in 1950 when Mary's assumption into heaven was proclaimed an article of faith. In other words, rather than being some mystical power of the pope, infallibility means the Church allows the office of the pope to be the ruling agent in deciding what will be accepted as formal beliefs in the Church." ========== Downright scary. I take it Bush hasn't read this or he would have declared himself Catholic as well as pope!

Wayne, 1. It really doesn't matter if the molested kids are male or female. Marriage makes no difference in either case. Child molesting is totally off the map for that. Most male molesters are married. 4. The infallibility is only when The Pope speaks ex cathedra. Still nutso, IMHO. Neither Jesus nor Peter nor Paul claimed to be infallible. Also, what about when there were 3 popes making differing comments ex cathedra? That must be tough, though the ones who lost the war are generally considered anti-popes.
