When the catechism states that the pope and the bishops united to him are infallible, it means that in specific circumstances, particularly when teaching on matters of faith and morals, they are preserved from error by the Holy Spirit. This infallibility applies when the pope proclaims a definitive doctrine ex cathedra (from the chair of St. Peter) or when the bishops, in union with him, teach a consensus on essential beliefs. It underscores the belief that the Church is guided by divine truth, ensuring that essential teachings remain unchanged through history.

A:The Church considers its bishops to be the successors of the apostles. At first, there was no particular bishop designated as the specific successor to Peter. Pope Anicetus (156-166), during the course of a theological argument with the venerable Polycarp of Smyrna, claimed that Peter had travelled to Rome to lead the Christians there and had been beheaded in Rome, meaning that he (Anicetus) spoke with the authority of Peter. From this time forward, the bishops of Rome increasingly insisted that they were the successors of St Peter, until it is now an article of faith that they are.
