Apologists for the pope are beginning to raise their heads above their oft attacked parapet, claiming that the Pope was misquoted or mis-interpreted or translated.

This argument may on one hand be seen as disingenuous to media outlets who regularly cover the Pope and the Vatican; but on the other hand this argument undercuts the evengelical claim that the bible is the inerrent and infallible word of God.

If people cannot agree on what was said (and meant) in one language less than a week ago, how can we agree on what was said (and meant) up to 3000 years ago in a variety of ancient languages.

I don't see this argument having much meaning for Catholics. They've never believed in an inerrant bible. Their inerrant word has always been the Pope. And that's only when he's speaking ex cathedra and it's written out in a Papal bull. What he said in his speech met neither of those criteria and so is to be considered merely his human opinion.

Wow, in fact that is both true and accurate, which like Santa Claus and Laura Bush comes once a year around here.
