isn't there a law in catholic church that says that everything the pope says is gonna be done in heaven or something like that?
it has a name...totally forgot it tho . but i need it in a discussion with my girl help me out pls :wink:

I was raised Catholic and taught Sunday school but I don't recall ever hearing anything like that. When you say "everything the pope says" what do you mean? If he says he has to go to the bathroom? Then again, I'm not sure I've ever heard the Pope say anything is going to be done. He is usually just giving mass or talking about how homosexuality is wrong.

Are you thinking about Papal Infallibility?

This is basically the belief that the pope speaks the word of God when addressing matters of doctrine or morality and therefore cannot be challenged... or something like that!

yes i was looking for the word infallibility.

Peter is presumed the first pope. and jesus said to him:"to you I give the keys to the kingdom of Heaven , whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven"
so Peter being seen as the first pope was infallible, and since the first Vatican Council (A.D. 1870), it has been promulgated that when the pope speaks ex cathreda (from the chair) regarding matters of ?faith and morals,? he is infallible.

Tnx Ian

i am Cathloic .. in nature.

Yes, what the Pope speaks tends to be God's Law. It still not as as the Holy Bible words. For the current time and place, it does have it's very powerful meaning and stance. More or less a word(s) pretains to the crisis at a current moment. It is "just" answer for an issue that the Church has not be able to deal with or understand.

there's always time after... a couple of centuries if possible, to say something like 'wel mr. Galileo, you weren't so wrong after all'

maybe in the year 2404 some pope will say 'well... using condoms is not such a bad idea...' if popes are still around...
