Si Si No No: On the Pope's Infallible Magisterium

On the Pope's Infallible Magisterium

Clear Ideas on the Pope's Infallible Magisterium

This article quotes heavily from two essays, which have recently been jointly republished under the title, Pope or Church?, by Angelus Press.

The first essay, The Ordinary Magisterium of the Catholic Church was originally entitled, An Essay on the Authority of the Teachings of the Sovereign Pontiff, and published in July, 1956. It was written by Dom Paul Nau, OSB of the monastery of Solemes.

The second essay, The Infallibility of the Church's Ordinary Magisterium was written in 1980 by Canon Rene Berthod of the Congregation of the Great Saint Bernard. An eminent and profound theologian, after a long and brilliant career as professor, he was the Rector for many years of the Seminary of Saint Pius X in Econe, Switzerland.
