Papal infallability

The other day I commented on some similarities between Bush and the Pope, indicating they both seem to want to lead us back to the days of the Spanish Inquisition. Today, I find another similarity. They're having to beef up security around the Pope.

Italian media reported that security around Pope Benedict XVI has been beefed up following the harsh responses to his remarks on Islam.

On Sunday the pope is expected to deliver his weekly sermon from his summer home, and it is still not clear whether he will address the international uproar his comments have stirred.

Of course, the greatest similarity of all is their common claim to infallability.
