I was reading some threads and came across one that said it had the evidence for Papal Infallibility so I was very interested to see what it said, here is the main contention:

"On a particular moral issue, the pope :liturgy: has proven to be right and all the other denominations have been wrong. For all these years, we Catholics have been mocked and criticized for the harsh stand the Catholic Church has been on birth control. We, now the evidence is in!

See
http://www.prolife.com/BIRTHCNT.html

Because of the Catholic Church’s strong view against birth control, it has always warned its flock not to take the pill, as well as other birth control devices. Although there are many denomination that are pro-life, I do not know any Protestant that is against birth control.

So that means that there are thousands of Protestant pro-life wives, who rightly oppose RU-486 (the morning-after pill), and yet may have inadvertently had caused an abortion themselves because they took the birth control, with the approval of their ministers :preach: .

If my wife and I had been Protestant, and my wife was taking the pill, without my minister warning me that I could be killing an unborn child, I would be total scandalized.

I hear often “What makes you think your church is the only true church?” or “What makes you think that only the pope is right and no other denomination has it right”.

Well, here you have proof!"

With this kind of reasoning, anyone could lay claim to a great many things........

The Pope is infallible on matters of Faith and Morality when speaking authoritatively. This means the Pope can be a sinner and liar and have views different than the Catholic Church but if and when that Pope make an Authoritative decision/announcement on matters of Faith and Morality it is Infallible because God himself is using the Pope to speak to us as God used the writers of the Bible to write Holy Scripture.

But in regards to contraceptives and the Pope calling it Anti-Life... well that is common sense.

Peace,

Jack
