suppose a really progressive pope decides to shut the whole farce down by declaring himself fallible. could the next pope reverse the claim?

i mean, he could only do so under the truth of the claim he's attempting to reverse; the pope's infallibility could only be reasserted by understanding his fallibility.

this new guy seems to be left of hitler, which is admittedly a nice - if unexpected - change. maybe....?

i mean, it's russell's paradox. it's a problem the church can't just gloss over.
