The Catholic Church teaches that the Pope has the ability to interpret the Bible
He's more special than the rest if us mere mortals, I guess. lol

The catholic church teaches that the pope has the keys of the kingdom and the power of binding and loosing given to peter. So he is guided from error when defining a dogma excathedra from the chair of st. Peter. This almost never happens. Many popes never exercize this authority. The church does not teach that the pope is infallible in all his acts
Instead of saying almost all christians couldnt own a Bible I should have said most. To me 99% and almost all are synonymous but mos t is the better word to use
