The only two infallible statements made by a pope have been the Immaculate Conception and the Assumption of Mary. Sorry, don’t have a link or anything.

Thanks for your help. I was contacted privately (unsolicited) by someone who said I didn’t accept the teachings of the True Church when I quoted something from the CCC. She said until I accepted the Truth of the Church we had no basis for communication, but she would gladly enlighten me privately. I told her I accepted everything in the CCC and what I have been taught, but I’m thinking I’m way out of my league here.

I’m not being deliberately obtuse, but I still don’t understand how the Church, which presumably knows all about the Council of Trent, etc., would put out a catechism that does not accurately represent what it teaches. And if this is the case, who do you trust?
 
Thank you all again for your help. I got an answer from Fr. Serpa regarding the CCC that I will take as authoritative.

"Hi,

The very reason that the Catechism of the Catholic Church exists is so that it can help people know exactly what the Church teaches in our current practical situations. The Catechism is it!

Fr. Vincent Serpa, O.P."

It is a relief to me, although still not sure why some Catholics reject it.
