On another thread regarding the Trinity, one member said that the Trinity was a dangerous doctrine since many were killed because of it. But a deeper and more serious problem is when a person or group declares themselves to be infallible while wielding power. People may not question out of fear or they may blindly follow as opposed to testing and questioning. The doctrine I'm referring to is that of 'papal infallibility' which is accepted by Catholics.
Does Scripture support the doctrine that popes can be infallible?
