there have only been two times that papal infallibility has been invoked, and both time were in reference to Mary:

1. The belief in her Immaculate Conception (declared by Pope Pius IX in 1854 and grandfathered in after the First Vatican Council’s declaration of papal infallibility in 1870)

2. The belief in her bodily Assumption into heaven (declared by Pope Pius XII in 1950)

That is not to say that Catholics (such as myself) do not have other beliefs - such as transubstantiation - but I believe that the only infallible declarations are the two previously listed.

As I said, I may be wrong, but that was my understanding.

In any event, I always appreciate the opportunity for discussion, and I wish you well and peace

Tim
