The Pope's selection of Cardinals is covered by Papal infallibility otherwise the Cardinals couldn't be empowered to select the Pope. If the Cardinals are infallible by proxy (the only logical interpretation of the Canon), so is their selection of Bishops which makes Bishops infallible by proxy and so on. The College of Cardinals official line is that they hold no Power of the Holy Orders (the phrase representing Papal infallibility) but that's an obvious contradiction.
Quote:Yeah, he is. Sometimes, he forgets his car keys. But the Catholic Church holds that its teaching (what is written down in the Catechism) is infallible, so when the Pope decides to add something to that, he is infallible. And that doesn't happen often.Like when the articles of faith regarding unbaptised babies & Limbo were retracted.
