The Pope is a sin. And a stumbling block.

Yes, the Pope can sin like everyone else and actually goes to confession daily.
Infallibility is not being sinless. The Catholic Church teaches that the Pope is infallible at closely defined times. The Pope is only infallible when he, along with the body of bishops, solemnly teaches a doctrine as true.

Yes, the Pope can (and probably does) sin like everyone else.
Infallibility is not being sinless.
The Catholic Church teaches that the Pope is infallible at closely defined times.
The Pope is only infallible when he, in union with the body of bishops, solemnly teaches that a doctrine as true.
This comes from the words of Jesus to Peter (the first Pope) and the Apostles (the first bishops), "Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven" (Matthew 18:18) and "He who hears you hears me" (Luke 10:16).
With love in Christ.

He has to sin in order to be Pope. The Pope claims to speak for God which contradicts the Bible. The Pope claims to be infallible, which has to be a lie. The Pope changed or overturned the laws in the Bible (4th commandment, confession, etc) and isn't sin going against the law?

Just to clairify:
first, the pope is infallible under certain conditions, meaning he cannot teach error.
Second, the pope is not impecable, he can sin; when he sins he confesses to another priest.
Infalibility, when the pope teaches in his official capacity as pope on a matter of Faith or morals concerning the entire Church- He cannot teach error due to the protection of the Holy Ghost.

He is a human.
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God"
Rom 3:23
To say that the pope cannot sin because he wears a pointy hat is a slap in the face of the perfect Messiah who lived a sinless life and took on your sin that it could be nailed to the cross.
Trust in the saving blood of Jesus Christ, not a mere mortal.

Yes, the pope can sin. He is human. The only man that ever lived without sin was Jesus Christ.

The pope is human just like everyone else, and we all sin.
