failable, so why does the catholic church's catcheism say that the pope is infailable...would not this be a blasphemy to say that one is infailable or unable to be wrong or sin...as for that matter does not the bible say that no one should call any spiritual leader father as the bible says there is but one father and that be thy lord GOD and not to call no one father but him...would it not also be blasphemy to call the pope father ...

your sins can be forgiven but does not the bible also say that if you contuine your sinful ways once you are saved that you can still be cut off from God and have your name removed from the book of life

I have actually read the catcheism and to say one is infailable means above reproach...now this means he would have to be perfect and since he is a man he is not above reproach

No man is infailable even in the reading or teaching of scripture because he interpets it in his own way....I have not been able to find anywhere in the bible that it stated any man would would have the ability to tell you exactly the meaning of the bible....as far as calling someone father that is a church priest, minister or whatever ... i agree that this is a blasphemy and should be not be done because in mathew there is a verse that tells you exactly that..

If you had actually READ the Catechism, you would know it has nothing to do with sin. The Pope can and does sin.

Good for you! Now you know why the Catholic Church kept the scriptures "safe" from the common man. You are correct in all you have stated. However, blasphemy? Look up the word in a bible dictionary. One can blaspheme the Holy Spirit, but the Catholic Church?

Because they add many things that are not actually in the Bible. Same goes with many of the other denominations. People need to check out church doctrine based upon the word of God. Anything that is not confirmed by the Bible should be thrown out.

Welcome to Catholicism....paradox is specialty. Below is the way I had studied years ago:
(Matthew 16:19) "...whatever you gain on earth will be gained in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." That is why the Pope is infallible, because obviously, heaven can not lose. Infallibility does not mean the Pope is absent from sin, speaks in perfect grammar, or says only the right thing all the time, every time. The Pope is only infallible when preaching on faith and morals. Now, this gets complicated; infallibility means "free from error," not perfection. So, in conclusion, the Pope when preaching on faith and morals is free from error.

God washes our sins away. Even when you follow catholic church and you do a lot of things wrong.

Just because all have sinned and come short it does not mean that one should stay in that state.
