AI OVERVIEW: Infallibility is a gift given to the pope and the college of bishops when they teach on faith and morals, ensuring those teachings are free from error, while acknowledging that popes can sin and bishops can be mistaken. It applies only to rare proclamations that define doctrine; the Bible is essential but not sufficient, for interpretation must preserve the deposit of faith through the magisterium. The Holy Spirit provides this protection as a compass outside of us, guiding us through the woods of history like magnetic north on a compass course. Peter’s rock and the keys to the kingdom illustrate the authority given to shepherds to teach and to bind or loose on earth as it is in heaven.
