It is a sad indictment of our generation that we ascribe papal infallibilty to our gedolim. It was never like that. Emunas chachomim has nothing to do with believing blindly in every saying of a godol. Can they give berochos? Absolutely. Can you tell us about very unusual stories of gedolim? certainly. but this does not mean that every word, every utterance should be followed. That is idolatry.
