Infallible decisions on faith and morals. It's rare and hasn't happened for a long time, but you never know...
You never know... what, exactly? And why would you trust someone who is fallible until he claims otherwise? That's pretty circular, and completely untrustworthy. What if, say, the pope said one day, "ok- I'm declaring myself infallible. Everybody is now to worship Satan." Or what about... I dunno... the fact that a bunch of popes have denied the idea of papal infallibility full stop? Popes: the people who are supposed to be able to proclaim their own infallibility, for chrissakes.
So, really, truly, honestly: what is the point of the pope?
