With apologies to the believers out there, I just find the concept of a man who has (theoretically) never had sex being the final word on sex. That would be a whole lot like expecting someone who has never seen wood to be a master carpenter. The whole 'infallible' thing amuses the hell out of me, especially given Catholicisms long almost unbroken string of being wrong about most things from Galileo to the Pedopriests.
I just can't wrap my mind around that kind of faith.

I don't have the phrases exactly, but I thought the infallibility of the Pope is in regards to spiritual matters, not the mundane human mortal stuff. If there were conflusions of the two, like in Galileo, it takes time before folks figure it out. :) As for the Pedopriests, it has always been wrong, it has never been a practice advocated by the church, I've never seen nor heard of anyone in the clergy say that what the priests did was right or acceptable. The local leadership may have glossed over it or shuffled folks around, but the religious folks would

Moving the pervs from a group of children who no longer trusted them to a new group of children with no reason to distrust them. The Bishops who aided the pervs should share a very small cell with them for a few dozen decades.

say that the failings of the human doesn't mean that God failed humans.

Certainly it does. If she was any kind of caring god, a perv about to prey on an innocent would burst into flame, and slowly agonizingly die over a period of several decades. Since they don't and evil of all kind is allowed to continue with the voodoo that they do so well demonstrates that God doesn't give a tinkers dam, isn't a 'caring god' or just plain doesn't exist. We don't and cannot know on during this existance, but if and when I meet the poser, we will have words.
