The Performer formerly known as Cat Stevens...

...speaks as if he is ignorant on many topics. Cat Stevens
"Roman Catholic theology says that the pope cannot err in teachings on faith or morals.

In an interview with BBC television, Islam said that he went to a Catholic school, "so at one point I used to believe that the Pope was infallible"."
His school failed to point out that that was when the Pope speaks ex cathedra on faith and morals, that's first, second is this: Stevens fails to demonstrate how Benedict's words on Islam are wrong.

"But he added that the pope's comments on Islam showed he was fallible, "because of the kind of interpretation he had of Islam, he should read Gandhi and find out what he said about Islam," the singer said, adding that the Indian leader had a more peaceful interpretation of the faith."

"The pontiff "should have looked elsewhere if he wanted to quote but we respect the Pope and his position - I do believe he has retracted in a way that statement and that's all to the good."
Three strikes, Stevens, you're out: the Pope did not retract. Can't this Stevens fellow read?
