Synopsis

Explore the debate over papal infallibility and read a reasoned, practice‑macing defense. This thoughtful work presents Bishop Fessler’s careful responses to common objections, offering clarity on what the Vatican Council defined and what remains debated.

This edition frames the dispute between supporters and critics of papal infallibility in plain language. It foregrounds the key arguments, provides context from the Vatican Council, and includes the author’s methodical refutations of major claims. Readers will meet the historical background, see how definitions are interpreted, and follow the careful logic used to separate faith from overstatement.


  • Clear explanations of terms like ex cathedra and definitional authority

  • A lay‑friendly look at how church history and councils shape doctrine

  • Quoted passages and translations that illuminate the debate

  • Analysis of how rhetoric can blur the line between belief and assertion



Ideal for readers curious about church history, Catholic theology, and how scholarly debate informs faith. This edition helps both Catholics and non‑Catholics hear both sides and decide for themselves where truth lies.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
