The Catholic Church believes its Pope has the final say in how it will teach its believers instead of just following the word of God.

The Lord made His Church to be infallible in the exercise of her doctrinal authority.

The Vicar of Christ, the Pope, is considered "infallible" , in regards to the teaching of faith and morals to the Catholic faithful.

I said in regards to "faith and morals", not economics or politics.

This "infallibility" comes through guidance from the Holy Spirit.

And the Holy Spirit is the Third Person of the Trinity: God.

The Holy Spirit--God--will not allow the Pope to mislead the faithful when teaching on issues of faith and morals,

which means that the Pope is following the word of God.

So I guess when the prophet of the Mormon Church received revelation from God because he too as a leader is infallible it was okay for them to practice polygamy.

Nonsense...'If' the Pope has been filled with the Holy Spirit, he has no more of a measure of the Holy Spirit than I or other Christians have...And the Pope is no less of a sinner than many other Christians...AND if Paul had trouble with sin, you can be certain the Pope has more trouble...
