Isn't, according to Catholics beliefs, the pope infallible? Is that not a core part of the religion that separates it from Protestants?
Are we about to witness a splitting of the Catholic church?

So papal infallibility only applies when they're speaking ex cathedra (from the throne). The only time that's happened was in 1950. It's more that daughter churches need to maintain a "catholic" (universal) church within established rites.
Only via ex cathedra i.e "from the chair." The catholic church has had an... interesting history when it comes to papal authority.
"Rules for thee and rules for me." They hate gays more now than they love gods representative they decided. This is the steadfast "truth" we should all rally around and tell women what they can do with their bodies, when they can't even follow their own rules.
Isn't there like twenty different sects of Catholicism already?
Catholicism is itself a sect of the larger religion of Christianity. But yes, apparently there is a new Christian derived sect every second bigger town.
Let the ex-Communications begin.
Yeah. I was pretty sure the dude in the big hat that was they only direct link to God was infallible.
Yes and no.
They believe that the pope can be infallible, but only sometimes. And sometimes means twice. As in, it has only been used two times.
There is no set list of ex cathedra teachings, but that’s because there are only two, and both are about Mary: her Immaculate Conception (declared by Pope Pius IX in 1854 and grandfathered in after the First Vatican Council’s declaration of papal infallibility in 1870) and her bodily Assumption into heaven (declared by Pope Pius XII in 1950).
Based on precedent, your pope name seems like it needs to be "pius" to be eligible for infallibleness.
An electric hybrid would be a great for a pope. Fuel efficiency in religion is important - even Jesus left with his disciples in one Accord.
Last I heard. But hey, I am no Theologian. (IANT). LoL
Oh I am looking forward to a new era of anti-Popes.
If you get a Pope and an Anti-Pope to have sex, ...
They annihilate each other in an incredible burst of energy.
Yeah, if the church wants to survive it'll have to adapt, but there are too many people who think the church never changes and that their angry childhood nun was the voice of god.
Aren't all Catholic bishops confused? Like, inherently? It's a prerequisite for the job.
They are playing to their people
I'm waiting for all the Trump-supporting Catholic Bishops in the U.S. to start their own American Catholic Church at this point.
I think is going to be hard nowadays when property rights are pretty stabilized. In ancient times a bishop deciding to go for his own would could have a chance to keep the real state and accounts of the church they administer, nowdays the Vatican could easily send their lawyers to whatever place is trying to independence and kick them off their land.
I'd absolutely love to see that.
Instead of a normal cross they can just adopt the swastika
Can we make the Swastika a Buddhist symbol again?
Just say the Vatican won't sweep their next homesexual pedo episode under the table, that'll bring them in line.
Ah the Kevin Spacey tactic
So… further proof of the cherry-picking of Christianity.
Why don't they go and fuck themselves?... Oh wait.
If any of you bothered to read the actual document, it says no blessing homosexual unions or anything that resembles them. The media is reporting everything way out of context and you are along for the ride.
If we're going to be a Nation governed by the Bible doesn't that mean we have to listen to the Pope? Or do we pick and choose which parts of our religion we follow and kill the people who follow the Pope who sings the Word of God?
