Popes are infallible only on matters of faith and morals, and only when they announce that they are speaking infallibly for the Church.
^This has only happened about a dozen times in the last 2000 years, if that. Last time it happened was in the 1950's. The time before that was in the 1800's. It's a rare thing.
To address the point, burning heretics was never Church dogma. It was a personal choice made by some of the Catholic people of the time.
What did the church do over 300 years to stop it, you coolaid swilling bimbo?
^A man just called me a bimbo for answering someone's question about papal infallibility...

How "good" do you consider yourself to be? How would you describe yourself on a number line from
0= Satan at his worst to 100= Jesus at his best?
Hi Brakeman. That's a difficult qustion to answer. Too difficult to give an exact number, but I'd say probably somewhere in the middle, like the average person.
My parents and little brother are in town visiting me this week, so I probably won't get the chance to come back until late at night, if that.
Hope everyone has a great day. :-)
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
