Dear all the people who are confused as to how the Pope can be infallible since he just made a mistake then apologised for it, 

He's only infallible when he sits in the special chair. Duh. 

Love, 

reluctant Catholic*

*The thing about being a Catholic is, you're always a Catholic. You can convert to Islam or insist you don't believe in God or pretend to be gay just to shake them off, but it won't happen, they'll still send you rosary beads and insist you got through your exams because they prayed for you, and no matter how hard you try you won't be able to shake off the inexplicable love of really awful religious tack (eg: glittery statues of Mary that change colour according to the temperature; plastic 3D neon versions of The Last Supper; holographic stickers which switch from the Nativity to the Cruxifiction - all these I own) or the guilt over pretty much everything, especially if it's fun. But mostly the tack.
