GG: I love the Lane-filled episodes. Also, that scene with Emily and Richard sitting across the table the long way and going through the household stuff to do -- very nice. Also, I don't think that Richard realized that Emily was dating Simon. And Doyle! And Logan!

Now tagless for your comfort.
I like the idea of affection between kids and parents
Affection -- good. Degree of affection -- variable impact.
And when the parents disagree on this variable--much painful discussing ensues. I'm a mouth-kisser, DH is not. We're working on a workable agreeement that doesn't squick him or put Owen in therapy.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
The Pope is infallible, according to Catholic doctrine, *only* when he speaks ex cathedra. There have only ever been 2 Papal Infallible statements, both of which were about Mary -- and neither statement was by JPII. (The statement about Mary's immaculate conception -- NOT the conception of Jesus, but her own conception -- was in 1854, and the statement about Mary's bodily assumption into heaven -- like the Rapture, basically -- was in 1950.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So is the Pope infallible becaue he says he is, or is there some group of non-Popes who decided that he is infallible?

Papal infallibility was decided on during the first Vatican Council, I believe.

IIRC, a council of bishops (or cardinals?) decided that yeah, okay, whoever is pope gets to be infallible.
t edit sj is correct -- it was Vatican I. Pope Pius IX basically steamrolled the idea through: "My mind is so made up that if need be I shall take the definition upon myself and dismiss the Council if it wishes to keep silence. "
So, in answer to tommyrot's question, officially some non-popes said the pope is infallible, but in reality, it sounds like Pius IX declared himself infallible no matter what anyone else said.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
U can be the president.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
But does the Pope get to decide when he's infallible (I mean, he only is sometimes. He could say, "No. We won't get salmonella from this cookie dough" and be wrong, and the Catholic Church not come crashing down, because he's not all-Holy-totally-right-all-the-time.)?

The rest of us have decided we'd rather have you as President. Because then the current resident would not be.
