That would still require Theology software.

I agreed with this, until I learned he's the reason everyone thinks homosexuality is a sin.

Infaliability issue, easy way to think of it is more like this
Doom's word is law

When it comes to interprutation of the bible and holy doctrine, the Pope is infaliable because by the Pope saying it, it is automatically church canon and word of God. Long as its in reguards to the beliefs of the catholic church whatever he says is not only the truth, but retroactively has been the truth for all of time. Everything outside of this can be a mistake however.

There were bits in the Bible that sort of said that already, anyway. And I doubt that he's the first Pope to consider it a sin.

I never understood how homosexuality is a sin to the church but molesting little boys is generally a-ok! I guess the bigger the balls the greater the sin?

and guess who says what info is in the bible? The Pope. Everyone thinks the bible today is the same as the bible 2000 years ago. Its been editted quite alot over the years and you'd notice before then no one ever mentioned any hinting at homosexuality as a sin. Heck 100 years ago you'd be hard pressed to find a christian admitting it existed, or that women were people

I dunno man. I've got that Mormon bible at home, and I don't know how recently that's been through changes, but it pretty much says that God blew up Sodom and Gomorra because the people liked having gay sex.

Untrue. This is very clearly outlined by the vatican- the pope is only infallable if he is speaking ex cathedra which is a very well defined set of conditions and he needs to clearly do it with intention. Any random interpretation of the bible clearly and emphatically is not infallable.

Didn't Lot(I think?) sleep with his daughters after that and it was alright cause ya know, he was drunk, and might be the last man left?

His daughters got him drunk and seduced him yeah, after his wife died by turning into a pillar of salt.
