Bloggers : Pope Fallible April 19, 2007
Pope Benedict’s book, Jesus of Nazareth, sold more than 50.000 copies on its first day. Published in a new edition on the pontiff’s 80th birthday, the book is the Pope’s personal view of the life of Jesus and as such does not represent Church doctrine. With tongue slightly deviated toward cheek, bloggers are taking the Pontiff on, claiming that his own words show him fallible.
“The Pope is not infallible - there’s a little mistake in his last book,” Italian journalist Sandro Magister said in his blog Settimo Cielo (Seventh Heaven).
The Pope says “everyone is free to contradict me.”
