My friend stresses this point all the time in his tirades against Catholicism. However, if it is true, and he is "infallible"... Then what would the church do if the Pope suddenly had a change of heart? I mean, what if one day, he wakes up and decides that he believes in a different religion?
If he's infallible, then obviously he's right in choosing said religion, and that would mean every other Catholic would be expected to do so as well. Likewise, what if the Pope converted to 16th century Satanism? I know, I know, nobody -actually- worships the devil... but what if he did?
What would the remaining bishops and members of the Church do? I mean, no matter what, he's still the Pope until he dies, right?
