Answer 3

Most catholics I know think he's the closest thing to god, so yes. Oh wait, you said inflammable.....nevermind.

Answer 4

inflammable= infallible

some do, some don't

But, I believe that he is just an ordinary sinful man like the rest of us.

Answer 5

And I thought he was supposed to be ineffable.

Answer 6

He is suppose to be considered infallible, but inflammable, not while he is in his earthly body.

Answer 7

pope is perfect in catholism

Answer 8

You are to....funny.

Of course the Pope is inflammable....did he?

Answer 9

He is just a man, a sinner like all of us. "For ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." That includes EVERY human that was ever born except Jesus, since He is perfect and all God. The pope is not more than a man showing off his gold crown and fancy jewels and so ok, he preaches. But no more than a regular priest. I was a Catholic for a long time. Out of that bondage now!!! Praise God!!

Answer 10

Inflammable means that he could be lit of fire and burn. I don't think we really have an official position on that!

There was never any Church doctrine on limbo. It was a common Christian foke belief practiced by many Christian groups. My dear Anglican mother had an emergency baptism for my brother when he was very sick. The Pope has simply restated the fact that Catholic doctrine finds no evidence for limbo. It never has.

Papal infallability, just means that at certain times, some Popes, will explain a biblical interpretation in a way that they believe to be absolutely true. They are stating that they feel without a doubt that this is correct. This happens incredibly rarely and very few Popes ever do this.

It does not mean that the Pope is some how always correct or always right. He is just the pastor of our Church. Just lke any other Church has a pastor.

Answer 11

as for "infallable".... they refer to him as "holy father"..... declaring him holy would seem to speak to that part....

as for inflammable.... he better hope so ..... unless he comes to the truth of Jesus Christ.... that Christ is the head of the church and not the pope... that Christ alone is the redeemer not mary as co-redemptress...... that works wont save you but the grace of Jesus will..... unless he comes to those truths.... he better hope he is inflammable....

Answer 12

Mat 23:26 [Thou] blind Pharisee, cleanse first that [which is] within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.

Mat 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Luk 18:14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified [rather] than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Answer 13

The pope is only considered to be infallible when speaking ex-Cathedra ("from the chair") in concert with the college of bishops on matters of faith and morals.

It does not mean he is considered perfect.

What that means is that it only applies if the pope is making an official statement on a matter of faith or morals. There are actually very few of these.

Limbo was never declared a dogma of the Catholic Church and was never a required belief for faithful Catholics. It was a theory postulated by some theologians and accepted by some and rejected by others.

As for the pope being inflammable, with all the robes and whatnot, I'm sure he'd light up quite nicely.

Answer 14

Ok, going with the idea that you mean Papal Infallibility, there is an entire process to declare that a message or declaration by the Pope is one from God that is infallible. It is extremely limited. The Pope must declare that the doctrine or belief he is expressing is the definitive stance of the Catholic Church and that the body of Bishops and clergy act in unity with the Pope in declaring a specific teaching of the church. No Catholic nor any Catholic dogma teaches that the Pope is a person without sin or is incapable of sinning. This is one hundred percent NOT one of our beliefs. Infallibility does not apply to the Pope as a person...it applies to the solemn and faithful teachings on values and morals given by the successor of Peter or defined by the Church as a whole.

Answer 15

No, silly. it is the foul-smelling gas that comes out that is inflammable. That gas is generally produced at the same time the solid stuff is, but sometimes they come out together. If you are referring to limbo as in the dance, I did not know it had been gotten rid of, but maybe it was because when you bend over that far backwards to try to prove something, you may show some of your short comings as far as trying to clean up after yourself. Maybe people got tired of getting laughed at behind their backs and since limbo was the cause of so many people getting laughed at behind their backs (after they stood up, of course), they just decided to get rid of the whole thing anyway. Besides, I am too old to limbo anyway, but since age is a touchy point with me, I don't want to go there anyway.

Answer 16

It's INFALLIBLE ... meaning he cannot speak any lies or mistruths. But it only has to do when he is speaking "ex cathedra" meaning from the chair of Peter. The Catholics can never just come out and tell you something ... it's always cloaked in mystery! That's why you have to take most of the stuff they say "on faith" b/c NO BODY CAN UNDERSTAND WTF they're saying.

And when did the Pope shut down Limbo? What will happen to all the un-baptized babies?? Maybe he eats them now ... yeah ... I read something about that. But I NEVER said that .. I just read it and I'm sure the Pope would NEVER do such a horrendous thing.

Now I have to go to confession and confess my mis-deeds even though it was just something I read. That'll teach me to read eh?

You always get me violations with your questions. You are evil and should not ask this stuff. It's only to be discussed by us catholics. You sinners are not invited!

And when did he close Limbo? I need proof! Paperwork in triplicate! Documented evidence!

:-)
Peace ... Pope Haters!

Answer 17

Tragic typo?

+ Papal Infalliblity +

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 is called "ex cathedra", literally meaning in Latin "from the chair".

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).

At all other times the Pope can be just as wrong or sinful as you and me and be in need of forgiveness.

+ Limbo +

The Church has pondered the suggestion of Limbo for a few hundred years and has decided that it is not a good idea. Limbo was never official doctrine.

Jesus said, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation. He who believes and is baptized will be saved." (Mark 16:15-16)

For centuries, people have wondered about children who died before they were baptized. The Bible does not explicitly state that they will go to heaven.

Limbo was suggested as the place where unbaptized babies went when they died. This idea was never official Church doctrine and has been rejected.

The Church now says that it is not sure what happens to unbaptized babies when they die but she entrusts them to the mercy of God.
