One more clarification though....if you believe that the Bishop of Rome can err in regards to doctrine, do you believe the *Church* can err? We’ll leave aside the thorny definition of how to define said Church for now...but can you assent to the overall infallibility of the Church?

Hey, we have to jointly define something - if not what "the Church" is, then at least what "infallibility" means. Can I assume that you're defining "infallibility of the Church" as what's being spoken of in Matthew 16:18?

Yes, that’ll work. Some kind of guarantee that, notwithstanding heresies, the Church itself would be preserved in orthodoxy until the end of time.
