I have heard uniformed people talk about the Pope many times. It seems like the majority of people think that the Pope is the only way in which we can connect to God. Many other people think that the Pope has no authority. The Pope has authority as the head of the Church. The Pope is the head of the Magisterium, which is the teaching authority of the Church. The Pope has papal infallibility. Many people confuse this with the Pope being without error throughout his life. This is incorrect, papal infallibility is that the Pope cannot be wrong in the matter of faith and morals.
