I'm sure you can't have missed the fact that Barry has been attacking me, over and over, for umpteen years. It's been mentioned often enough. The difference between his attacks on me and mine on him is that he doesn't give a hoot about making them truthful, whereas I do. At one time I was

A nitpick, just for the record. The article claims that Roman Catholics are required to believe that the pope is 100% infallible and may never question anything he says. Not true. What the pope says is supposed to be infallible only when he speaks ex cathedra, when he defines a doctrine

Yeah, but as noted, ex cathedra pronouncements are very rare and typically quite narrow, on often relatively obscure points of doctrine. If the Church intended what you describe, it could easily do a far more effective job of it. Such statements tend to have very little, if any, practical
