Is there an exhaustive statement somewhere which explains the
difference between which actions, decisions, statements from the UHJ
are infallible (in which sense?) and which are not?
The UHJ legislates, it does not interpret. It is only authoritative when dealing with what is NOT expressed in the text. Without a Guardian it also protects the faith and has the authority to decide on covenental matters. It is only authoritative when it is convened. The opinion of a single member outside the House is not authoritative.
