[Magdalen] Pope and Kim Davis.

[Sibyl Smirl]

I'm a little too sleepy to look it up with the help of google, but I 
remember (and too sleepy to be accurate on the remembering, either) 
something about there being several criteria for an Infallible 
pronouncement, and that there have only been about five of those 
altogether, ever, that fit the criteria.

This is not what most Protestants (not that they believe in it) think 
that it means, and it seems, most imprecise, careless, or ignorant Roman 
Catholics think, which is infallible like Fundamentalists believe that 
the Bible is infallible.
