Infallibility

They are, yeah.

Uh, they are infallible.

Infallible, yes.

Infallible.

Inerrant.

Inerrant, yeah.

Very good question with a very simple answer.

Infallible does not mean impeccable.

Infallible means, and in the context of the papacy, infallible means in certain contexts, in certain very limited contexts, the pope can teach infallibly on matters of doctrine, dogma, and faith and morals, ex cathedra through a, a formal act.

So, uh, it's, it's narrow, but it's, uh, the papal infallibility in, in that narrow sense is actually a logical necessity that comes from ecclesiology if Christ is to have a, a representative on Earth in a visible church that actually exists throughout the world.

So it's n- you know, it's not something that people invented down the line.

What, what he's saying is he did something wrong.

But that's okay.

Infallible n- has never meant impeccable, so there could be plenty of popes in hell.

Period.

That's an infallible doctrine.

Infallible.

It cannot be changed.
