I want to believe the second sentence a mistake. U don't equate God's holy word to a mere mortal:
*[[1Pe 1:24-25/KJV]]For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

The pope is flesh and like grass will wither. But the word abides forever. Don't equate or even compare them.

Exactly. His (Peter) flesh does not make him infallible. The Holy Spirit (Which Christ said would lead them into all truth) acting on and in him makes him infallible.

So, the proper equation is : The Holy Spirit acting in, through and on The Catholic Church built by Jesus himself on Peter and the Apostles which Jesus promised that the gates of hell would never prevail against and that He would be with till the end of time > The Bible.

No sir, from ur argument a catholic is one who accepts the primacy of the pope and takes his word as law wiout question. He is one who blindly accepts the teaching of the pope as infallible. One who does not bother to read the bible for himself but is spoonfed by the priest with tradition.
Jesus told us that when the holy spirit comes he will guide us into all truths. The holy spirit guides the individual believer. Not tradition. Any doctrine that contradicts scripture ought not be accepted on the bill of papal infallibility.

Lol.

A Catholic is one who accepts the authority of the Church built and sent by Jesus.

"He who rejects you rejects me and he who accepts you accepts me."

It is disgraceful to argue by saying Catholics don't read the bible. That thing don tire people to talk na. With 2 or 3 readings everyday, Catholics don't read the bible and are spoonfed with tradition. Wonder how many readings per day you want us to do.
