Explore a rigorous debate on papal infallibility and its reach. This non-fiction work examines two core questions in depth: whether the Church’s infallibility extends to minor censures and to doctrinal instructions in encyclicals and allocutions. The discussion pits Ward’s expansive view against Rider’s narrower interpretation, balancing theological argument with historical examples.
Framed as a preface and a pointed letter, the text clarifies terms like the Deposit of Faith and the role of the Holy See in guiding Catholic belief. It weighs how pronouncements from popes and councils are received, interpreted, and tested for authority, with careful attention to both rational argument and church tradition.
Ideal for readers of Catholic theology, church history, and students of doctrinal definitions seeking a thoughtful, accessible introduction to a landmark dispute.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book dives into the nature of the Church's infallibility, a core concept in Catholic doctrine. The author presents a rigorous analysis of papal pronouncements and their reception by the Church, arguing that the Church holds itself to possess an extensive infallibility extending beyond heretical decrees. This infallibility encompasses a wide range of doctrinal instructions, including those communicated through Allocutions, Encyclicals, and other papal acts. The author draws upon the insights of theologians, bishops, and the Pope himself to support the comprehensive view of infallibility. By examining historical controversies and official Church pronouncements, the book sheds light on the Church's self-understanding and its relationship to the faithful. This study contributes to a deeper grasp of the Church's nature and mission, its authority in matters of faith and morals, and its role in guiding believers towards truth and salvation.
