Are we talking at the Vatican? I don't know. I suspect a lot don't. I don't see how you could study this stuff for a lifetime and conclude it's true. I don't see how you could be part of the decision-making apparatus of men and believe a statement that no doubt would have gone through multiple drafts was somehow divinely inspired. I'm sure some naïve ones do fully believe, but at the higher levels these guys have worked their way up to and given they know how the sausage is made, I just can't see them being full believers.
All of the above is a giant guess, though. Not sure how you'd know for sure, but it'd sure be nice to give them truth serum and ask some questions.
