13. Faith is supposed to be in God, not in man. Only when the Pope claims to be imparting a revelation

from God is the Pope considered to be infallible; and that happens very, very rarely. Otherwise, the Pope is as capable of error and sin as anyone else.

Why Catholics choose to believe that an omnipotent God communicates with them only via a human mouthpiece is another issue.
