[Magdalen] Pope and Kim Davis.

[Lynn Ronkainen]

One thing that fascinated me about the press coverage given the pope was 
that the word infallible kept popping up without any 'actual' context. The 
pope is not generally considered infallible, only some of his 
pronouncements, usually written out at great length, might be so considered 
and they are declared as such IIRC (that would be if I remember correctly, 
not If I'm RC... as I no longer am <g>) ... encyclicals, I think they are 
called.

single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything You gave me."
