Reply #36: Who's to say I didn't pay attention? You? Who are you and where do

you get your powers of infalliblity (and clairvoyance) from?

Going to a private Catholic girl's boarding school we were immersed in matters of religion 24/7 (to coin a trite and overused phrase). I lived with nuns, went to Mass every morning, and spent every Wednesday night with them for 'family night'.

I know what I was told during grade school and high school. Not that I believed it, but it was a way of life. The Pope is God's representative on earth. Nothing he can say or do is wrong.

Your experience might have been different, but there are untold numbers of people like me who were raised that way. Some even still believe it. And I suspect that this Pope does as well.
