MM, what are you saying with these quotes?

"And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of Heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven." The Roman church makes a wrong application of these words of Christ. They claim that he addressed them specially to Peter. Hence he is represented in works of art as carrying a bunch of keys, which is a symbol of trust and authority given to ambassadors and others in high positions. The words of Christ: "I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of Heaven," were not addressed to Peter alone, but to the disciples, including those who compose the Christian church in all ages. Peter was given no preference nor power above that of the other disciples. Had Jesus delegated any special authority to one of them, we would not find them so frequently contending among themselves as to who should be greatest. They would have at once submitted to the wish of their Master, and paid honor to the one whom he had selected as their head. {2SP 273.2}

But the Roman Catholic church claims that Christ invested Peter with supreme power over the Christian church, and that his successors are divinely authorized to rule the Christian world. In still another place Jesus acknowledges the same power to exist in all the church that is claimed to have been given to Peter alone, upon the authority of the text previously quoted: "Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven; and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven." {2SP 274.1}

So we see that it is the OFFICE of POPE that is infalibile, not the man himself

Secondly, vicarius filii dei is not an official designation of the Pope, nor is it (as is erroneously reported) inscribed on his mitre.

I would say it is the man when, in the exercise of his office, he defines a doctrine.

While the existence of the title vicarius filii dei is uncertain, its equivalent, vicar of Christ, is well known.

The title [vicar of Christ] is now used in Catholicism to refer to the bishops[2] and more specifically to the Bishop of Rome (the pope).[3] ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicar_of_Christ )

JAK, I believe decisions rendered during a General Conference Session reflect the will of God when every specification which Christ has given has been carried out in the true, Christian spirit, then, and then only, Heaven ratifies the decision of the church, because its members have the mind of Christ, and do as He would do were He upon the earth.

Unfortunately, this interpretation is not supported by a close reading of the dogma. Secondly, he is only infalible WHEN DEFINING A DOCTRINE.

However, what about the doctrine of killing the opposing representatives of Christ? Or would you call that doctrine.

"in virtue of his supreme apostolic authority, he defines a doctrine concerning faith or morals to be held by the whole Church".

Seems to me that instructing the church to kill another would involve morals.
