Prophets are not infallible

Summary: Are prophets considered infallible? Critics sometimes impose absolutist assumptions on the Church and hold inerrantist beliefs about scriptures or prophets. Critics therefore insist that any statement by any Church leader represents official Church doctrine and is thus something that is secretly believed, or that should be believed, by Latter-day Saints.
