View A: God alone is infallible.

View B: God is infallible and bestows infallibility as a gift on some human beings.

These two views are not remotely compatible. There’s no point in any of us pretending they are.

I disagree. Jesus said, “Why do you call me good? God alone is good.” But somehow, God bestows Good on human beings, in order for them to live eternally with Him.

It was said about Jesus, “He taught them as one having authority, and not as their scribes.” God the Father bestowed teaching authority on the man Jesus. He could, and we believe He did - “He who hears you, hears Me.” - bestow authoritative teaching authority on others.

As an example, why believe anything taught by St. Paul, unless you believe his teaching authority came from God. Why believe anything written by St. Matthew, St. Mark, St. Luke, St. John ...?

Well said. I’m taking it straight to God, bypassing any and all humans who would have me kneel before any other fallible human (or image thereof).
