The Infallibility of the Pope (Classic Reprint): A Lecture: A Lecture (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The Infallibility of the Pope is presented as a defense of papal authority and its role in guiding faith and reason. This edition frames the Pope’s infallibility as a cornerstone of church unity, tracing its basis through councils, history, and the continuity of doctrine. It argues that the Pope’s infallible teaching protects both Revelation and human understanding from error.

From ancient Rome to the Vatican Council, the text surveys how leaders and nations have acknowledged the Pope’s unique place. It defends the idea that infallibility applies to faith and morals when the Pope teaches ex cathedra, and explains why this authority is essential for the Church’s coherence and truth.

The work also engages debates about church authority, councils, and the relationship between church and state, offering a historical argument for why this doctrine matters to Catholics and those studying church history alike.
