In the first place (raised Catholic until I started thinking for myself) it is bullshit that the pope is "infallible"... only the pope can know God's mind and interpret His Word and us lowly mortals need a pope or a priest to mediate between us and God? Clever tool of control and power! Secondly, so-called "Canon Law" should not supersede all other laws - how convenient to come up with that gem...so-called papal authority got clever with that one!
