New Simple.
The Roman Catholic church puts the authority of the Pope above that of the Bible. This id one of the major differences between Roman Catholics and, as far as I understand it, most Protestants.

New Not exactly.

The Church puts the authority of God above that of the Bible, and Catholics believe that, in one way or another, the Church is being guided by the Holy Spirit and protected from straying off into evil. Note that the realm of infallibility thus created is extremely narrow and has only bene invokved, IIRC, two or three times in the couple thousand years the Church has existed.

\r\n\r\n

Also, FWIW the Church predates the Bible by a fair bit.

New That's correct
Papal infallibility only applys to Papal Bulls. These documents are few and far between.

Check it out on Wikipedia: [link|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papal_bull|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papal_bull]

BTW, they are called "Bulls" because of the type of seal used to authenticate its importance called a "bulla".

Peace,
