I think most protestants would settle on the actions of the Medici popes that proved the fatality in infallibility. The Word could not be corrupted. Men could.

Unfortunately, this led to a lot of division in Christianity in interpretation from the Amish to Baptists. This has somewhat weakened Christianity’s political power. An unfortunate side effect.

Jesus said His Kingdom is not of this world. Why are Christians so interested in Earthly power?

“This has somewhat weakened Christianity’s political power. “

Anyone wanting to gain political power could join Islam. Now that is a take-no-prisoner style powerful religion.

Possibly, if they’re stupid. Nothing the Medici popes did have anything to do with papal infallibility.
