Ed... I think someone else may have said that. >;-)

Ed... "Roman Catholics recognize the Pope as infallible in matters of doctrine and the Pope has supreme authority over all churches and can, for example, contradict or usurp the power of a lower-ranking church leader..."

Re "infallible". Hey, somebody has to make the final decisions and that is what the Boss gets paid to do. In this case, the Boss can only be fired by one guy and that guy is every Catholic in unison. As for Supreme Authority, it's kinda the same but localized and there are property issues.
