Papal infallibility was the replacement of Eccumenial Councils

You haven't said anything that the protestants disagree with

Except that Eccumenial Councils determine what is heresy or not

By ''giving the finger'' to infallibility you open the path to relativism

no

You may agree with what I said

btu what about someone else?

He gave the finger to the claim that the pope stands for christ on this earth

ie. the literal 'vicar of christ'

He is a man

And the popes decrees are not infallible

And then you get the logical inconsistancy of one pope saying something supposedly infallible

and then another pope saying something different

I agree on papal infallibility being wrong

And then you have popes that we full on perverts and drunks

but the thing is you're trading what is a tool to stamp out heresy with the chance for heresies to grow

And others who lusted after power and greed

stop talking about popes, we're talking about the idea of interperation infallibility

And then others who were controlled by whoever was controlling Italy at the time

along witht he holy roman empire

yeah, anyway

We both don't like the pope

except protestants don't have infallibility of scripture

This is the thing man

no wait

scripture interperation

yeah, that

In scripture itself, Paul writes warning the early church of false teachers

and false prophets, yeah

The thing is, there has always and will always be those people

The impetus and responsibltiy is upon members of the church and church leaders to call those people out for what they are

hacks and fakes

out to scam people's money

Problem is with such a system you get heresies easily

or simply lead them away from the truth

because church leaders will disagree with each other unless you have robust doctrine

Not if you have Church elders who are switched on

And the church leaders/pastor has a doctrinal statement

Which pretty much every church has

im not talking about crappy churches though

Like massive mega churches that are more like music concerts
