Clearly something Holy going on around the year 300 here. Anything to do with the fact that martyrs only need 1 miracle to be declared a saint?
Who the fuck decided that? Oh yes, the Pope.
Quibble about terminology all you like. Papal infallibility is clearly bullshit. During the Western Schism, there were three separate guys all claiming they were the Pope. At least 2 of them must have been wrong.

The Catholic Church tried to silence Galileo for saying the earth orbited the Sun. That made 0 sense too.
Sense doesn't enter into it.
And what spiritual proclamations were those? Considering there have only been 2 papal proclamations in the history of the Church, I doubt he was one who made one.

Quote:Papal infallibility is a dogma of the Catholic Church that states that, in virtue of the promise of Jesus to Peter, the Pope is preserved from the possibility of error "When, in the exercise of his office as shepherd and teacher of all Christians, in virtue of his supreme apostolic authority, he defines a doctrine concerning faith or morals to be held by the whole Churchhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papal_infallibility
