"Think about it" Thursday: The line between divine authority and human foibles

This question was prompted by one of Mr. Bishop's comments following my talk (video hopefully coming soon, the program keeps crashing in the middle of the download; I must have a demon in my computer). He said that priesthood leaders are led by the Spirit and represent the Lord, but that they're also humans who make mistakes.

Um, I'm sorry, but which is it? Where is the line between Bishop X, the mouthpiece of God; and Bishop X, the average Joe who screws up just like the rest of us? And how the hell is the average Church member supposed to know where that line starts and stops?
