KHALEEJ TIMES: LONDON, England - Yusuf Islam, the British singer known as Cat Stevens before his conversion to Islam, on Sunday added to the criticism of Pope Benedict XVI’s recent remarks about the religion.Mark Alexander
Islam, known for his 1970s hits including “Father And Son” and ”Wild World”, said that the pope quoting from a medieval text, which attacks some of the Prophet Mohammed’s teachings as “evil and inhuman” showed the pontiff was not infallible.
Roman Catholic theology says that the pope cannot err in teachings on faith or morals.
In an interview with BBC television, Islam said that he went to a Catholic school, “so at one point I used to believe that the Pope was infallible”.
But he added that the pope’s comments on Islam showed he was fallible Cat Stevens criticizes pope over Islam comments

Cat Stevens fell off "The Peace Train" when he converted to Islam.
Was he ever on one?
always on watch, You are 'spot on' again! The poor wretch certainly injured his head when he fell off the 'peace train' and converted to Islam. Obviously, he has never recovered his sanity.
