And the thing is, the Pope himself is not where infallibility rests. Infallibillity pertains to dogmatic teachings, which are very few. The Pope promulgates those teachings after years of collaboration and discernment.

Back to Mr Fry, et al. Their disdain for ancient sacred writings is akin to the haughty disdain Europeans had for the aboriginal wisdom of the lands they conquered. We are just barely beginning to understand the value of that aboriginal wisdom.
