No human is infallible regardless of his office.
The following is a blasphemous statement from The Faith of Millions: The Credentials of the Catholic Religion by Fr John O'Brien:
"When the priest announces the tremendous words of consecration, he reaches up into the heavens, brings Christ down from his throne and places him upon our altar to be offered up again as the VICTIM [emphasis mine] for the sins of man. (Not once but again and again, mass after mass). It is a power exercised by the priest greater than that of the saints and angels, greater than Seraphim and Cherubim. Indeed, it is a power greater even than the power of the Virgin Mary.
The priest speaks and lo! Christ, the eternal and omnipotent God, BOWS HIS HEAD IN HUMBLE OBEDIENCE TO THE PRIEST'S COMMAND."
This blasphemy is based on the canons established in the Council of Trent.
Canon 3, Session 22, states: If anyone saith that the sacrifice of the mass is only a sacrifice of praise and of thanksgiving; or that it is a bare commemoration of the sacrifice CONSUMMATED on the cross, but not a propitiatory sacrifice; or that it profits himself only who receives, and that it ought not to be offered for the living and the dead for sins, pains, satisfactions, and other necessities, let him be anathema.
Canon 4, Session 22, states: If anyone saith that, by the sacrifice of the mass, a blasphemy is cast upon
the most Holy Sacrifice of Christ CONSUMMATED on the cross; or, that it thereby derogated from,
let him be anathema.
Obviously the learned clergy of Roman Catholicism were unaware of the meaning of Consummate, a transitive verb
meaning to bring to completion or fruition; to realize or achieve, fulfill; to perfect, or complete in every way.
Jesus spoke 7 times while nailed to the cross. Just before He committed His spirit and died, He said, IT IS FINISHED!
IOW, with His sacrifice on the cross and His resurrection, Lord Jesus fulfilled His mission on Earth,
He consummated it, He completed it in every way. Put succinctly, His sacrifice was for eternity, not the temporal whims of egomaniacal clergymen who think they are greater than Him.
The Bible in its entirety is the Word of God, and You shall not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you. (Deuteronomy 4:2)
The idea that a human priest can reach up to heaven, dethrone Lord Jesus, and thrust Him body, blood and spirit upon a earthly altar, incarnate Him in a sliver of bread and a sip of wine, and sacrifice Him once again as a VICTIM for the sins of man is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, the one sin God will not forgive.
As a Christian whose only authority in all matters of life and death, of spirit, body, and blood, is Yahweh,
the Biblical God who rules the universe, I'm way past tired of your overweaning pride in yourself, your Hubris, your arrogance, your hypocrisy, your lying, your incessant trumpeting of hatred for millions of Americans, including Christians, your childish word games that would thrill DeMann, Derrida, and Rousseau, and above all,
your attempt to justify it all by invoking Lord Jesus. I suppose you thought, with Jesus to back you up no Christian could challenge or refute anything you say
If what I have just posted here is how you worship Jesus, dethroning Him, eating his body, drinking his blood, victimizing Him and sacrificing Him once again on your earthly altar, then the Jesus you worship is a blasphemous fake.
Not all Catholics are like you, I know a lot of Catholics, and not all of them embrace this doctrine, more and more of them, including priests and other clergy, are very distressed over what the current pope has done, many have left the church, and some have even abandoned Catholicism and turned to the Gospels of Christ. I highly recommend you do that yourself.
